description: What might the findings of researchers engaged in the quest for the historical Jesus mean to Christians? In posing this question and others, The Elusive Messiah opens a window for a new look at the age old problem of faith versus reason. Through readily understandable language and examples, Martin poses basic questions, looks for the answers, and explains how these answers correspond to larger issues. His accessible writing synthesizes complex academic arguments in ways that bring them down to earth, enabling Christians and other readers to understand what is being claimed and to test these claims for meaningfulness.
