The Historical Jesus Quest

"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.

In one resource, this compendium provides the foundation upon which modern research is based and allows these great scholars to speak in their own words. It is essential reading for all serious students of the Gospels and of the historical Jesus."--BOOK JACKET.
