Product Description
Book Description
'The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels' is unique among
reference books on the Bible, the first volume of its kind since James
Hastings published his 'Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels' in 1909. In
the more than eight decades since Hastings our understanding of Jesus, the
Evangelists and their word has grown remarkably. New interpretive methods
have illumined the text, the ever-changing profile of modern culture has
put new questions to the Gospels, and our understanding of the Judaism of
Jesus' day has advanced in ways that could not have been predicted in
Hastings's day. But for many readers of the Gospels the new outlook on the
Gospels remains hidden within technical journals and academic monographs.

'The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels' bridges the gap between scholars
and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth
treatment of select topics in an accessible and summary format. The topics
range from cross-sectional themes (such as faith, law, Sabbath) to methods
of interpretation (such as form criticism, redaction criticism,
sociological approaches), from key events (such as the birth, temptation
and death of Jesus) to each of the four Gospels as a whole. Some articles
- such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic traditions and revolutionary
movements at the time of Jesus - provide significant background information
to the Gospels. Others reflect recent and less familiar issues in Jesus
and the Gospel studies, such as divine man, ancient rhetoric and the
chreiai.
Contemporary concerns of general interest are discussed in articles
covering such topics as healing, the demonic and the historical reliability
of the Gospels. And for those entrusted with communicating the message of
the Gospels, there is an extensive article on preaching from the Gospels.
'The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels' presents the fruit of evangelical
New Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century - committed
to the authority of Scripture, utilising the best of critical methods, and
maintaining dialog with contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the
church.
From the Publisher
