This collection of essays examines twelve key events in the life of Jesus that were part of a decade-long collaborative research project. Each essay carefully examines the case for the event's authenticity and then explores the social and cultural background to the event to provide an understanding of the event's historical significance.
Using a carefully defined approach to historical Jesus studies and historical method, this collection of essays examines twelve key events in the life of Jesus that were part of a decade-long collaborative research project. Each essay examines the case for the event's authenticity and then explores the social and cultural background to the event to provide an understanding of the event's historical significance. The first six events are related to the public ministry context of Jesus, mostly associated with his Galilean ministry, while latter six events involve his final days in Jerusalem. The final essay closes with suggestions about how these events cohere and what they can tell us about what Jesus did.
