Overview
Media coverage of the Jesus Seminar and a renewed interest in the "quest for the historical Jesus" have occasioned considerable unease among Christians of all traditions. From time to time we see new books and newsmagazine cover stories containing the latest deconstructionist interpretation of what Scripture says about Jesus. The questions at issue are all-important: What can we know about Jesus of Nazareth as he actually was? Is the Christ of faith the same as the man from Galilee? Can we match what we know about him with what we believe about him? Is he the way, the truth, and the life, or is he merely - as many believe today even within the church - a way, a truth, a life? Written by leading scholars from around the Anglican Communion, the essays in The Truth about Jesus explore and critique the current "quest for the historical Jesus," reaffirm he traditional biblical teaching about Jesus, and consider the proclamation of his gospel to our pluralistic world.Book Details
