Title: A believer's search for the Jesus of history
First published: 1999
Description: "In a Believer's search for the Jesus of History, Phillip Cunningham, C.S.P., takes a hard look at the distinctive--and sometimes irreconcilable--views of scholars involved in this debate: Raymond E. Brown, John Dominic Crossan, Luke Timothy Johnson, E.P. Sanders, John P. Meier, and Geza Vermes. Current debate over the "real" Jesus need not be a threat to our Christian faith. Father Cunningham shows that our understanding of Jesus will be enriched, placing him within the concrete history of his time. Jesus, of course, transcends that history. Only by appreciating the Jesus of history can we begin to grasp that transcendence"-- Back cover.
