Beskrivning

In June 2000 five scholars, one theologian and 60 non-academic pilgrims travelled to Israel to share their insights on the Jesus of history and the meaning of the "historians' Jesus" for Christian faith. The results are provided in this work. The text provides a summary of what is known about Jesus and his times - Galilee, his relationship to the Qumran community, his sense of mission as an eschatological prophet and miracle worker, and finally the mechanics of how the memories of Jesus's words and deeds circulated amongst his followers and were passed on in oral performance to be enshrined in the written synoptic tradition. The book concludes with reflections by Elizabeth Johnson on the relavance of such scholarship for contemporary Christian faith; rather than a challenge, she sees it as a gift.

Recensioner i media

"The scholarly, yet accessible, essays in this volume are not to be sneezed at. With such big names as Elizabeth Johnson and John Meier on the title page, one expects (and is not disappointed) serious scholarship. [The articles] are excellent, lucid introductions for the non-specialist into some of the most important, but most jargon-ridden, questions of theology to have developed in recent decades." --Travis du Priest, The Living Church, October 2001
