Craig Blomberg's award-winning Jesus and the Gospels prepares readers for an intensive study of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the events they narrate. Blomberg considers the historical context of the Gospels and sheds light on the confusing interpretations brought forth over the last two centuries.

This updated edition incorporates new scholarship, debate, critical methods, and the ongoing quest for the historical Jesus, and ensures the work will remain a valuable tool for exploring the life of Christ through the first four books of the New Testament.

Commendations

'Blomberg's book ... is wide-ranging and up-to-date, scholarly and accessible, conservative and intelligent.' David Wenham

'This remarkably compendious survey of the Gospels, their background, their composition and their contents, and of the Jesus whose life and teaching they present, is written with such clarity, simplicity and balance that it will at once take its place as a basic textbook for university and college courses in New Testament studies.' I. Howard Marshall
