Product Description

Synopsis
Did Jesus actually exist? Much has been written recently on this subject, including numerous books examining the New Testament record of Jesus' life. Now Robert Van Voorst presents and critiques the ancient evidence outside the New Testament-the Roman, Jewish, pre-New Testament, and post-New Testament writings that mention Jesus. This fascinating study of the early Christian and non-Christian record includes fresh translations of all the relevant texts. Van Voorst shows how and to what extent these ancient writings can be used to help reconstruct the historical Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting, very readable book., 20 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This is a very readable introduction to texts, other than the New Testament, in which Jesus is mentioned. The author includes everything from Pliny The Younger, to Jesus in the Rabbinic Tradition, to the Nag Hammadi Scrolls. He writes with an unbiased outlook and honestly assesses each text for authenticity. Lots of footnotes, 3 indexes and a full bibliography to aid further study. I cannot over- emphasize how readable this volume is- he has packed in so much but managed to avoid a lofy theological style. If you are interested in the ancient evidence or Christology, you will miss out if you do not have this one on your bookshelf.
