The Cambridge Companion to Jesus

Book Overview

This Companion's starting point is the realization that Jesus of Nazareth cannot be studied purely as a subject of ancient history, or as a man like any other man. History, literature, theology and the dynamic of a living, worldwide religious reality appropriately impinge on the study of Jesus. This book therefore incorporates the most up-to-date historical work on Jesus with the larger issues of critical method--the story of Christian faith and study, as well as Jesus in a global church and in the encounter with Judaism and Islam.
