Since the first edition or this book was published, a wave of Jesus and Gospel scholarship has crested and broken on the shores of a new century. This second edition amply weighs and assess the gains and shortcomings of this new scholarship - as such, nearly all of the 175 articles in the first edition have been rewritten.
Articles cover each Gospel, major themes in the Gospels, key episodes in the life of Jesus, significant background topics, as well as issues and methods of interpretation. Among other benefits, it allows multiple opportunities for each of the Gospels to be weighed and heard in its own voice.
This volume bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and interested readers who want thorough treatments of key topics in an accessible and summary format.
