"Thomas Yoder Neufeld has provided readers with 'the raw material
and some of the skill with which to jump into the fray' of the
debates about Jesus. This highly readable book has been carefully
honed through years of undergraduate teaching by a scholar who
often preaches and teaches in church settings. Well informed and
with enviable clarity, Neufeld presents the fruit of the best
critical Jesus scholarship--hospitable for students in the
pluralistic context of the university classroom. Anyone interested
in the Jesus we encounter in the New Testament will turn these
pages with great interest and profit."--Graham H. Twelftree, Regent
University
"Tom Yoder Neufeld is an outstanding writer! An extraordinarily
engaging teacher, Tom guides us with gripping vitality on an
invigorating and exhilarating tour through the biblical accounts.
Throughout the adventure he achieves the perfect
voice--undergirding our faith even as he imparts necessary skills
to sort through various scholarly debates concerning Jesus. This
exceptional book is superb for both new and seasoned students of
the Scriptures."--Marva J. Dawn, author of "Talking the Walk"
"Recovering Jesus is a difficult task in our day. Skeptical
words abound on many sides. Thomas Yoder Neufeld does a good and
accessible job of clearing the decks and showing the way in this
introduction to Jesus and his teaching in the context of the
scholarly cacophony that surrounds Jesus. Nicely done."--Darrell
Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary
""Not" just another Jesus book, Thomas Yoder Neufeld's
"Recovering Jesus" integrates sound scholarship with a profound and
reflective faith. Written with a wide spectrum of contemporary
college students inmind, Yoder Neufeld's accessible and engaging
prose will also attract thoughtful laypeople as well as busy church
leaders. His centering the Jesus story in the ethic and theology of
the kingdom of God is not only refreshingly true to the heart of
our written Gospels but will be especially helpful for those who
long to follow Jesus in life. Few scholars of Yoder Neufeld's
breadth and depth write with this clarity of thought and joy in
discipleship."--Mary Schertz, Associated Mennonite Biblical
Seminary
