Description
The Historical Jesus: A Guide for the Perplexed by Helen Bond provides an in-depth exploration of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. This guide sets out the complex sources used to study Jesus, including Graeco-Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts, before delving into scholarship on Jesus from the 19th century to the present day.
A key aspect of this book is its examination of the three main 'quests' for the historical Jesus: the quest for a historical figure, the quest for a Christ figure, and the quest for a messianic figure. The author also analyses key themes in historical Jesus research, including Jesus' Galilean origins, his ministry, teaching, healing, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection.
Throughout this guide, the often opposing views of various scholars are explained and discussed, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding the life and teachings of Jesus. With its clear and concise approach, this book is an ideal resource for anyone seeking to understand the historical context of Christianity.
