This second edition of Jesus and the Gospels prepares readers for an intensive study of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the events they narrate. Craig Blomberg considers the historical context of the Gospels and sheds light on the confusing interpretations brought forth over the last two centuries. The original 1997 book won a Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, and this updated version, factoring in new scholarship, debate, critical methods, and the ongoing quest of the historical Jesus, ensures the work will remain a top tool for exploring the life of Christ through the first four books of the New Testament.

I've been using this book as a resource for teaching on Jesus and the Gospels for a few years, and I couldn't be happier. It's the kind of book that can benefit the seasoned veteran of biblical studies as well as the beginner- a rare book indeed. Included in this one volume: concise overview of the historical background to the Gospels, a quick introduction to critical methods, intros to each Gospel, a mini-commentary on the life of Jesus and a review of the basic message and theology of Jesus and the Gospels. I can't recommend this book highly enough. [Full Review]
