Full description for Jesus Remembered: Christianity in the Making v. 1

• James D. G. Dunn has long been admired as one of today's finest Christian scholars. After writing groundbreaking studies of the New Testament and a standard work on Paul's theology, Dunn has finally turned his pen to the rise of Christianity itself. "Jesus Remembered" is the first volume in his monumental new history of the first 120 years of the faith. Appropriately, "Jesus Remembered" explores the life and mission of Jesus. Drawing on an unrivalled knowledge of the written sources as well as on the best, most recent archaeological and sociological research, Dunn investigates the impact of Jesus' mission on his early followers and the convictions about him which so rapidly coalesced and gained force in the nascent church. The first sections of the book reviews the now-famous "quest for the historical Jesus, " highlighting and evaluating crucial issues surronding the study of Jesus over the past two hundred years. Dunn also argues convincingly that the Gospel traditions provide a clear and accurate portrayal of the Nazarene. The main body of the book provides a comprehensive overview of the main themes of Jesus' mission. Here Dunn explores such engaging questions as what Jesus' hearers thought of him, what he thought of himself, and why he was crucified. The book concludes with a discussion of how and why the belief in Jesus' resurrection began, and what this claim has meant to the Christian community at large. Written with peerless acumen yet accessible to a wide range of readers, "Jesus Remembered, " together with its forthcoming companion volumes covering the rise of the church, will be a trusted study for years to come.
