Title: Conentional review
Review: Unlike the work of some other scholars, such as Crosson and Meier, E. P. Sanders has written a conventional survey of the main themes of the gospels. His treatment of the historical background contains no surprises or controversies. His review of other topics such as the chapter on the Kingdom of Heaven is a mainstream exegesis. Therefore, while this book may not have enticing bon mots, Sanders' work can safely be part of a homilist's research or incorporated into the teaching of a catechist. The book is far more readable than others that treat the historicity of the gospels. Yet scholarship does not get short shrift to this readability. A good read.
