Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Basing his work on manuscript and archaeological discoveries that include the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Codices, and excavations in Jerusalem, Biblical scholar Charlesworth eschews a theological approach to focus on Jesus as a historical figure. Arguing that "Jesus of Nazareth as a historical man must be seen within Judaism," he examines the cultural and intellectual milieu in which Jesus lived. While this book originated in a series of scholarly lectures, technical language has been removed and footnotes simplified, making it eminently readable. Fascinating in its adroit use of sources little known to most laypersons, this should appeal to a wide audience. Joan W. Gartland, Detroit P.L.
