Negative Positive
Title: One of the best
Review: If you are going to read only one book on the "Historical Jesus", this book should be the one. This work covers the relevant topics such as the historical reliability of the Gospels, different modern views of Jesus such as a political social reformer, the veracity of the Resurrection, and my favorite chapter on the Gospels being "live, jive, or Memorex (paraphrased history, fiction, or literal verbatim history respectively).Liberal views holding a "low-Christology" such as those presented by the Jesus Seminar are taken to task and challenged on ignoring their own criterion along with their unjustified naturalistic presuppostions.I have read several works on the search for the historical Jesus and highly recommend this one.
