Riassunto

Compact, intelligent primer on the New Testament from a renowned scholarIn this coherent and integrated introduction to basic issues in the study of the New Testament, James Dunn has gathered texts from three sets of lectures that he gave in 2009 to Catholic and Jewish audiences in Italy, Spain, and Israel. Each of these lectures aimed to introduce otherwise well-informed people to topics that were new or unfamiliar to them making this book ideal for readers and students of various theological backgrounds both within and beyond the Christian community.Some of the topics illuminated by Dunn in this volume: * Where, why, and how the Gospels were written and what we should expect from them * The reliability and historicity of the Gospels * The continuing significance of the Apostle Paul and his teaching * Points of continuity and discontinuity between the teaching of Jesus and of Paul and how to bridge the two

Recensione:

''Jesus, Paul, and the Gospels forms both a capstone and an introduction to Jimmy Dunn's groundbreaking works about the beginnings of Christianity. If I had only one volume to put in the hands of someone who asked, 'Where do I begin to read Dunn?' this would be the book.'' --Scot McKnight, North Park University

''In this clear and insightful book, James Dunn offers a concise yet panoramic view of the origins of the early Jesus movement a subject in which he has long been a proven master.'' --Bruce W. Longenecker, Baylor University

Anyone seeking an introduction to Jesus, Paul, the Gospels, and their interconnections will find no better book than this. The fruit of a lifetime of research by a master scholar-teacher, it is vintage Dunn: clear, concise, creative, and credible.'' --Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary's Seminary and University
