'Extraordinarily well written and thoughtfully organizedThis book will be useful to anyone in need of a concise, clear, and knowledgeable guide through the four Gospels.' * FRANK THIELMAN, Presbyterian Chair of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School *
'Hands down, the best textbook I've found for my Life of Jesus classes. It is superbly organized and very student-friendly with its many illuminating charts, sidebar discussions, chapter summaries of key points, study questions, and glossary of key terms. Fair, even-handed treatment of divergent scholarly views while offering solidly reasoned conclusions grounded in careful scholarship. My students routinely comment on how well-written, interesting and accessible it is. The additional features and updated information contained in this latest edition simply enhance an already stellar book. I heartily recommend it for undergraduate or graduate level students alike.' * JEANNINE GRAHAM, associate professor of religious studies, George Fox University *
