Gregory A. Boyd Historical Jesus Collection (2 vols.)
Overview
The Jesus Seminar has made a massive impact on the American understanding of the “historical Jesus.” Popular magazines have provided a remarkable amount of space for the Jesus Seminar—Time and Newsweek even made its work cover stories. At the forefront of the movement lies the work of John Dominic Crossan and Burton L. Mack, who have popularized the “Jesus as cynic sage” view.
In these works, Greg Boyd thoroughly rebuts these revisionist theories of Jesus’ life and work. These books are accessible to all thoughtful readers—from the pastor or professor, to the skeptic or average churchgoer. Boyd explores the earliest biblical and secular sources on Jesus’ life—from the Gospels to Josephus and Irenaeus—and traces the transmission and reception of Jesus’ life throughout the centuries.
