Description
Reviews
Scot McKnight -- author of the Jesus Creed blog at patheos.com "Jesus according to the New Testament comprises dozens of insights for professors, a bag full of learning opportunities for students, and a multitude of suggestions for preachers and pastors. Dunn's top-level, judicious scholarship shines forth on each page. Too often we get lost in battles about theological topics or historical connections and miss the main point. Dunn keeps us focused on the heart of the gospel and the New Testament--the Lord Jesus." Anthony Le Donne -- author of Historical Jesus: What Can We Know and How Can We Know It? "James Dunn has written the perfect introduction to the New Testament's central theme. This engaging treatment of Jesus--and the earliest ideas about Jesus--touches every necessary stepping-stone along the path of a New Testament survey. Jesus According to the New Testament is a delight from start to finish."
