Jesus by Carsten Peter Thiede

This volume aims to discover how much of the traditional account of Jesus is reliable, how much myth? Nearly 20 centuries have passed since Jesus lived and died, and the story of his life and teaching still exerts a powerful hold on the human imagination. Yet, over the last few generations, many writers have questioned the evidence of Jesus. The author, Carsten Thiede, looks at the languages, the contemporary sources, the unpublished finds, and the Jewish and Roman settings of the time of Jesus. He considers the evidence of the New Testament Gospels, but also the references to Jesus in other writings, including the Gnostic Gospels.
