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 The author, Carsten Thiede, looks at the languages, the contemporary sources, the unpublished finds, and the Jewish and Roman settings of the time of Jesus.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.
CARSTEN PETER THIEDE directs the Institute for Basic Epistemological Research in his hometown of Paderborn, Germany. A former German National Scholarship Foundation Research Fellow at Queen's College, Oxford, he is an authority on ancient manuscripts. MATTHEW d'ANCONA lives in London, where his lead articles and special features for The Times are widely read. Winner of the 1994 Charles Douglas-Horne Award and the 1987 Oxford University H. W. C. David Prize in Modern History, he is also a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford.
