Jesus by Doris Donnelly
This text provides a summary of what is known about Jesus and his times - Galilee, his sense of mission as an eschatological prophet and miracle worker, and the mechanics of how the memories of Jesus's words and deeds circulated amongst his followers and were passed on in the written tradition.
"The scholarly, yet accessible, essays in this volume are not to be sneezed atWith such big names as Elizabeth Johnson and John Meier on the title page, one expects (and is not disappointed) serious scholarship. [The articles] are excellent, lucid introductions for the non-specialist into some of the most important, but most jargon-ridden, questions of theology to have developed in recent decades." --Travis du Priest, The Living Church, October 2001
"This book is a helpful collection which rounds up what these important scholars have to say about significant topics in the study of the historical Jesus." --Robert J. Miller, Religious Studies Review, January 2003
"...when piety, scholarship and sacred sites are brought together in popular theological writing, does the mixture prove beneficial? On the strength of this collection, I would say that it does. The scholars use their gifts for clear exposition and work seriously at serious questions... Each essay raises interesting issues, and offers teachers excellent material for discussion in tutorials." -Andrew Hamilton
