About this book

"In this engaging collection, four well-known scholars examine the history and impact of historical Jesus research. John Dominic Crossan (Emeritus, DePaul) offers an overview of the history of historical Jesus research and explores the debate that such research has sparked in the community of faith. E.P. Sanders (Duke) discusses the methods scholars use to determine "how we know what we know about Jesus." Amy-Jill Levine (Vanderbilt) engages in a consideration of the difficulties of applying the results of historical Jesus research to everyday life. James Charlesworth examines the sources and methods involved in Jesus research and offers an outline of the results of such research."--Jacket.
