Until now, no one has brought together a comparison of the points of view of the most influential writers about the historical Jesus.The Historical Jesus Quest brings together substantial extracts from the seminal works in Jesus studies over the last two centuries. The extracts are accompanied by brief introductions to each writer, helpful summaries of the central arguments of the works from which the extracts are taken, and incisive assessments of their continuing relevance to current debates.

Strauss, Wrede, Schweitzer, Kahler, Bultmann, Kasemann, and others_to speak in their own words. It is essential reading for all serious students of the Gospels and of the historical Jesus.

In Quest Of Jesus (Revised)
$29.99Within the context of the current debate over the historical Jesus, W. Barmes Tatum focuses on the issue of the relationship between the Christ of faith and the Jesus of history, between the creedal Son of God and Jesus the Jew whose life and message centered around the symbol of “God’s rule.” In contrast to those who belittle historical research into the life of Jesus and in contrast to those who reject the church’s creedal definition of Jesus as the Son of God, Tatum argues for continuity between the church’s traditional claim of Jesus as God’s Son and Jesus as a historical figure who reflected but transcended the social categories of sage, healer, and prophet. W. Barnes Tatum is Professor of Religion and Philosophy at Greensboro College in Greensboro, North Carolina. This is a revised and expanded edition of a book first published in 1982.

Additional Info
C. S. Lewis once wrote: “To be ignorant and simple now-not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground-would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.”SCALING THE SECULAR CITY is not just another apologetics book. This is a fresh, up-to-date defense of the Christian faith by a bright mind. J. P. Moreland musters new arguments, tackles new problems, and reveals penetrating insight as he gives reasons for the historic Christian faith. His rich background in philosophy, science, and theology is manifest in the helpful way he operates on the borders of these disciplines. His insights into the contemporary philosophical issues make him one of the ablest young apologists in America. This book not only will help the average Christian, but also will challenge the best scholars. It is another good example of the renaissance of classical apologetics in a day that refuses to either capitulate to the philosophical skeptics or give a reason for our hope.

Jesus Christ : The Message Of The Gospels The Hope Of The Church
$29.00Jesus Christ The Message of the Gospels, The Hope of the Church In response to recent books that claim to reveal “the real Jesus,” Burton Throckmorton here offers a thoughtful, reasoned analysis of the life and significance of Jesus Christ-one that adheres to a faith-affirming pathway between espousers of an uncritical literalism and those who claim to derive “new” insight through historical, literary interpretations. Eschewing both fundamentalist rigidity and humanist revisionism, Throckmorton discusses the traditional identity and nature of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels. While keeping a close eye on historical detail, he explores and explicates the profound and lyrically spiritual implications of the life and meaning of Christ.

Missions Of Jesus And The Disciples According To The Fourth Gospel A Print
$33.99This important work explores in depth the relationship between the mission of Jesus and of the disciples as presented in the Gospel of John, and explores the implications of these findings for the contemporary church. Based on a comprehensive semantic field of study that integrates biblical studies, theology, and missiology, this volume represents the first time such an approach has been used for the study of mission in John.
Andreas Kostenberger begins by surveying the state of research on mission in the Fourth Gospel, then covers foundational linguistic, definitional, and literary matters. The following two chapters contain the actual study of the missions of Jesus and the disciples. In discussing the disciples’ mission, special attention is given to the question of how later generations of disciples should be related to Jesus’ original followers.
The volume concludes with a chapter on the implications of Kostenberger’s findings for the Fourth Gospel’s purpose and for the mission of the contemporary church. Kostenberger engages missiological constructs based on the Fourth Gospel, including the so-called “incarnational model” of mission, and concludes that this model is seriously flawed and should be replaced by a “representational model” of mission that views Jesus’ followers as his representatives, who do not share in the theologically unique aspects of his incarnation.

Additional Info
Marius Reiser argues here that the theme of judgement lies close to the heart of Jesus’ proclamation. For Jesus, the certainty of the coming of judgement is the presupposition of the ultimate coming of the reign of God. Judgement and salvation are two sides of the same coin. This book offers a corrective to a one-sided emphasis on Jesus’ message of salvation – to say nothing of the picture of a noneschatological Jesus. This work, originally published in German, features a new introduction in which Reisner engages the current American discussion of the historical Jesus, particularly engaging Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan. Reisner goes on to offer and overview of the concept of judgement in early Jewish literature and in the preaching of John the Baptizer. He then concentrates on the teachings of Jesus, both sayings and parables. Included are excurses on important related motifs like the “divine passive” and “conversion.” Marius Reiser is Professor of New Testament at the University of Tubingen.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Drawing on the best biblical and historical scholarship, respected New Testament scholar Luke Timothy Johnson demonstrates that the “real Jesus” is the one experienced in the present through faith rather than the one found in speculative historical reconstructions. A new preface by the author presents his point of view on the most recent rounds of this lively debate.

Parables As Subversive Speech
$48.00William Herzog shows that the focus of the parables was not on a vision of the glory of the reign of God but on the gory details of the way oppression served the interests of the ruling class. The parables were a form of social analysis, as well as a form of theological reflection. Herzog scrutinizes their canonical form to show the distinction between its purpose for Jesus and for evangelists. To do this, he uses the tools of historical criticism, including form criticism and redaction criticism.

Jesus Of Nazareth A Print On Demand Title
$53.99The problem of the historical Jesus remains one of the most important themes in New Testament scholarship. Closely related to this problem is the question, How far can the impact made by the earthly Jesus and his own self-understanding sustain the weight of the Christological construction put upon them by the early church? In the past two decades some scholars have taken an increasingly gloomy attitude toward the possibility of knowing anything of substance about Jesus from the Gospels or, at the opposite extreme, have sometimes made outlandish claims about him. Others, like the contributors of this volume, have begun moving the discussion into fresh areas of creative, responsible inquiry.
Fueling this interest at both scholarly and more popular levels is a corresponding preoccupation with the degree to which our understanding of Jesus influences the shape of faithful life in the church and in the world today. Indeed, the church is always in danger of reshaping Jesus in its own image. Thus it is greatly in need of the kind of scholarship found in this book – scholarship that allows its own preunderstandings and motives to be challenged by this same Jesus.
Written in honor of I. Howard Marshall on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, Jesus of Nazareth: Lord and Christ honors this distinguished scholar by reflecting his longstanding interest in Luke-Acts, his concern for the historical Jesus, and his stress on the significance of Jesus’ person and work in New Testament interpretation. Providing new insights and breaking new ground, the thirty outstanding essays in this volume offer a fresh assessment of New Testament data and methods pertinent to our understanding of Jesus and his significance both in his time and in ours.

Jesus The Prophet

Here he presents Jesus’ message of a just society based on Israel’s covenant tradition. He shows the prophetic background and social content of Jesus’ ethical teaching and demonstrates that the parables (especially those with economic and agricultural associations) critiqued the social conditions and called for a restructuring of community life. He provides evidence that Jesus’ vision endures, offering criticism of the present and promise of the future.

Reminding his readers, sometimes in startling ways, that salvation is a gift rather than a transaction, Capon uses a variety of dialogues to drive home the truth that “there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Along the way he explores guilt, forgiveness, love, anger, romance, grief, spiritual contentment, the Incarnation, reincarnation, resurrection, and more – and manages to make salvation something fresh and new in the process.

In this innovative book, John Purdy focuses on the face of Jesus and explores twelve Gospel stories beginning with Jesus’ birth and moving through his crucifixion and resurrection. Purdy shows us that by looking at Jesus, God’s intentions toward us can be discerned.
