Product Description

Product Description
Even mature Christians have trouble defending the person and divinity of Christ. "The Jesus Legend" builds a convincing interdisciplinary case for the unique and plausible position of Jesus in human history. He was real and his presence on the planet has been well-documented. The authors of the New Testament didn't plant evidence, though each writer did tell the truth from a unique perspective. This book carefully investigates the Gospel portraits of Jesus - particularly the Synoptic Gospels - assessing what is reliable history and fictional legend. The authors contend that a cumulative case for the general reliability of the Synoptic Gospels can be made and boldly challenge those who question the veracity of the Jesus found there.

About the Author
Paul Rhodes Eddy (PhD, Marquette University) is professor of biblical and theological studies at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gregory A. Boyd (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is the senior pastor at Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Eddy and Boyd are authors or coauthors of several books, including Across the Spectrum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best introduction to Gospel Historicity, 5 Nov 2008
By D. M. Ohara "Dan O'Hara" (Cleveland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Concentrating on the three synoptic Gospels, these authors produce probably the best modern account of how we should view their historical importance as witnesses to Jesus. The mastery of the huge literature on the subject is most impressive, and their judgements and conclusions are carefully argued and soundly based. For those puzzled about how and why the Gospels came into being, and their relationship to the historical Jesus, these authors offer a balanced, wide-ranging and highly convincing scenario. Both novices and experienced NT scholars will have much that is salutary to learn from this well-written and insightful work.
