Jesus in the Gospels and Acts: New Edition-Introducing the New Testament
"Dr. Scholz's book fills a serious lacuna in the field, namely, a solid, up-to-date examination of the gospels in their historical and literary context that, at the same time, is accessible to undergraduates of every age and creed. Reflecting the mainstream of modern biblical studies, this new edition is invaluable for any teacher struggling to give students a richer, more profound understanding of the multiple portraits of Jesus, within and beyond the canon, and their relevance for contemporary faith. This text, paired with Dr. Scholz's volume on Paul, serves as the perfect guide for an introductory course on the New Testament."--Lance Richey,University of Saint Francis"Dan Scholz offers a thoroughly readable and informative introduction to the Gospels and     Acts. . . . Each chapter on the Gospels and Acts begins with considerations about [a] book's historical setting (author, dating, sources, and audience) and moves to significant exploration of how the story is told. . . . The book is easy to navigate and contains frequent sidebars and helpful chapter conclusions with additional information to enhance the reading experience."--Jeannine K. Brown, Bethel Seminary
