Purchase options and add-ons

Interest in the historical Jesus continues to occupy much of today's discussion of the Bible. The vexing question is how the Jesus presented in the Gospels relates to the Jesus that actually walked this earth.

Studying the Historical Jesus is an introductory guide to how one might go about answering that question by doing historical inquiry into the material found in the Gospels. Darrell Bock introduces the sources of our knowledge about Jesus, both biblical and extra-biblical. He then surveys the history and culture of the world of Jesus. The final chapters introduce some of the methods used to study the Gospels, including historical, redaction, and narrative criticisms.

Bock, a well respected author, provides an informed evangelical alternative to radical projects like the Jesus Seminar. His audience, however, is not limited only to evangelicals. This book, written for college and seminary courses, offers an informed scholarly approach that takes the Gospels seriously as a source of historical information.

This is an excellent introductory book. It's great for summaries. I used some of this in my 10th Grade World History class to give a bit of an overview of Jesus in historical context.

This is a very good book. The content is very well laid out if you are going to use this for a resource but in order to read it strait through you would have to be extremely interested in this subject. It does not flow very well and it is very dull. It presents you with the facts and what people say about them and that is it. But a very good book!
