The Cambridge Companion to Jesus

Markus Bockmuehl, University of Cambridge
December 2001
Available
Paperback
9780521796781
    Description

    This Companion's starting point is the realization that Jesus of Nazareth cannot be studied purely as a subject of ancient history, or as "a man like any other man". History, literature, theology and the dynamic of a living, worldwide religious reality appropriately impinge on the study of Jesus. This book therefore incorporates the most up-to-date historical work on Jesus with the "larger issues" of critical method--the story of Christian faith and study, as well as Jesus in a global church and in the encounter with Judaism and Islam.

    • Accessible treatments of state-of-the-art scholarship on a full range of subjects pertaining to Jesus and christology
    • Offers a unique combination of historical, textual, hermeneutical and theological perpectives
    • Emphasizes the continuing significance of Jesus in an age of globalization

    Reviews & endorsements

    "This is an immensely rich and rewarding compendium of essays by seventeen notable biblical scholars and theologians, together offering a largely complementary and always challenging range of historical and theological reflections upon Jesus' life and its effects...a remarkably coherent and comprehensive set of studies, surely the best of its kind currently available." Toronto Journal of Theology
