About this title: This biography of the historical figure of Jesus is for a non-specialist readership. In the first part of this study, Professor Sanders proposes that people can have an excellent knowledge about Jesus on a general level: where he fits into the history and religious movements of first-century Palestine, the main themes of his teaching, his principal activities and those who followed him. But more specific questions, such as "What was he like?", "What were his aims?" can be answered with less certainty. The second part of the book identifies the range of possible answers, and weighs the ...

By Pete,

"Here is another very valuable book on the historical Jesus. E.P. Sanders's book was published in 1993, and his work is on a par with the likes of Geza Vermes. I had been looking for E.P.S. in my local library, with no luck, so I bought this copy from Amazon and I'm glad I did. It's in the treatment of New Testament Gospels where the author shines. He clearly explains the chronology of M.L.M.& J. + Paul & Acts etc., while fishing out redaction and early Christian agenda. His knowledge of first century Judaism helps greatly to light up many frustratingly vague N.T. passages, while leaving alone the speculative theorizing."
"One of the early books I read relating to Jesus Research. I was excited to hear Sanders' description of Jesus as an itinerant country preacher who avoided the cities and whose message primarily was for the peasants and tradespeople. He was generous and fair in his use of sources and affirming of my personal faith.
"As part of the "New Perspective" Sanders does a good job at looking at some of the historical questions in the gospels. Sanders is no theologian though and is all the more poor for it. Don't read this book if your faith is shaky. Sanders makes some good points but misses the point of key tenets such as the resurrection!"
