Interpretation
"Borg is the most articulate voice of those coming out of the Jesus Seminar. He writes clearly and forcefully, his claims are carefully stated and judiciously argued. (The book) gathers together several previously published essays with other lectures to provide an interesting composite of current research into the historical Jesus."
Jesus in Contemporary Scholarship ANNOTATION
Professor Borg, a nationally known Jesus scholar, offers an accessible guide through the growing maze of literature and research on Jesus. A welcome resource for libraries and researchers, the book focuses on the renaissance in Jesus studies in the 1980s, examines issues in contemporary Jesus research, and reveals how current research may help rethink Jesus' identity.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
"If you are not involved, it is hard to be clear about what is happening. If your are involved, it is hard to be fair about what is happening. Nobody is clearer, nobody is fairer than Marcus Borg in this superb an-alysis of historical Jesus research's current situation.
