description: At the heart of the Christian faith stands a man Jesus of Nazareth. Few people seriously question whether Jesus existed in history. But many influenced by the more skeptical scholars doubt that the Christ of orthodox Christianity is the same as the Jesus of history. In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume historian Paul W. Barnett lays these doubts to rest. He uncovers the methodological weaknesses present in some forms of critical scholarship demonstrating a failure to account for important early evidence about Jesus. Once the evidence is properly marshalled a picture of Jesus emerges that fits well with orthodox belief in him. Addressing key issues in biblical theology the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
