Jesus

Armand Puig i TArrech is Dean and Professor of New Testament at the Faculty of Theology of Catalonia in Barcelona. He is the author or editor of several books including Jesus: An Uncommon Journey: Studies on the Historical Jesus .

"In an accessible format, Jesus familiarizes readers with the textual evidence on which an analysis of Jesus must be based. Puig i Tarrech understands that when Jesus is located within his generative environment, we can discern the dimensions of personal development that move us out of asking whether a person exists and into the realm of critical biography." --Bruce Chilton, Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Religion, Bard College " Jesus is a richly informed and thoughtful approach to historical knowledge of Jesus from a seasoned scholar. Both a senior scholar and a practicing Christian, Puig i Tarrech navigates the complexity of the questions, the sources, and the criteria for making historical statements about Jesus." --Larry Hurtado, Director of the Centre for the Study of Christian Origins, The University of Edinburgh With the publication of Tarrech's book, the English-speaking world can hear for the first time a celebrated Catalan NT scholar.... [W]ith his critical historical thinking, his theological reflection, and genuine spiritual concerns, Tarrech makes a profound impact on his readers. -- Beniamin Pascut -- Religious Studies Review
