Overview

What impact does the debate over the historical Jesus have on our faith as Christians? If the “real” Jesus doesn’t fit into what we know about the Middle East in the first century BC, then is he merely a mythic figure? The New Testament message is that Jesus of Nazareth was an actual, living person. In A Believer’s Search for the Jesus of History, Phillip J. Cunningham takes a hard look at the distinctive—and sometimes irreconcilable—views of scholars involved in this debate: Raymond E. Brown, John Dominic Crossan, Luke Timothy Johnson, E. P. Sanders, John P. Meier, and Geza Vermes.
