Craig Evans examines how we got today's New Testament text, how ancient historians did their work, what second-century Gnosticism was all about, and the way first-century Jewish and Greek culture informs scholarly study of the Gospels. Readers will come away with a new appreciation of the value and limits of contemporary biblical research.
There are many ideas of Jesus on the overcrowded shelves of the world's religious markets. Can we ever know which is the true likeness? In a masterly survey, John Stott examines the New Testament witness to Christ, the church's portrayal of Christ, and the influence of Christ on individuals. Finally he turns to the book of Revelation to ask what Jesus Christ should mean to us today.
In a wide-ranging exploration, Derek Tidball brings out the implications of the cross for Christian living, community and spirituality. Opening up key passages throughout the Bible, he considers the anticipation of the Cross in the Old Testament, the experience of it in the Gospel accounts, its explanation and application in the New Testament letters and the Book of Revelation.
Paul Barnett explores Jesus as Messiah, surveying Old Testament prophecies and examining Messiah's birth, mission, message, miracles, resurrection, etc. in the New Testament. He appeals to the principle of multiple attestation in the sources as a basis for historical confidence.
In the Gospels, Jesus says and does many surprising and
puzzling things - like shrivelling a fig tree, or telling followers to keep
his miracles a secret. He is hard on his opponents, the Pharisees, but also
makes extreme demands on his disciples.
Tim Stafford takes us beyond two-dimensional images and false stereotypes by
unearthing the specific historical and cultural situation of Jesus' day.
