Riassunto

Challenges the idea that the Bible records the true-life, historical Jesus, arguing that each of the four gospel writers had a specific audience in mind and a specific theological agenda to push, and consequently wrote and rewrote their lives of Jesus accordingly. By the author of From Jesus to Christianity. 40,000 first printing.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Scripting Jesus combines sober analysis of a broad range of complex issues relating to Jesus and the Gospels with creative appropriation of texts, traditions, and images from the ancient Roman world. White has produced a valuable resource for teachers, rabbis, ministers, and students who want clear exposition informed by a fresh appraisal of primary sources and spirited engagement of recent scholarly debate. --Carl R. Holladay, Charles Howard Candler Professor of New Testament, Emory University
