"Loved this book. Witherington is a legitimate scholar in every sense - very prolific as well as an author of popular books like this one.
I gained lots of insights and understandings - how Jesus related to his familyl and friends. He speculates whether Lazarus could be the author of the Gospel of John. Interesting ideas like that! Witherington is - how would you say it - conservative scholar? He takes very seriously Christian truth claims and historical claims, while using critical tools for understanding them. Nice combination of critical and faithful tools.
This could be a good place to start for those interested in an intro to Jesus scholarship."
"The scholarship is generally sound, but BW is obviously very enamored of his own intellect. Many if not most of the footnotes (of which there are dozens) refer the reader to BW's other books! While some of his observations were helpful or interesting, after a while I got bored with his style. It seemed a little incongruous that Witherington was challenging persons who make suppositions or theological statements about Jesus not based on Scripture; yet he himself does this while exploring possibilites that the Scriptures leave open or "suggest.""
"This would have been more interesting and made more sense if I were more familiar with the New Testament. As it was, I was completely lost during discussions of how writing styles differed or were the same among different books. I was also lost when it referenced chapters and verses, as they were often only cited with a John 1:3 or something and not actually quoted. It was interesting, but I'm sure I missed or misunderstood much of what the author was trying to get across because of my ignorance."
