This Companion takes as its starting point the realization
that Jesus of Nazareth cannot be studied purely as a subject of
ancient history, 'a man like any other man'. History, literature,
theology and the dynamic of a living, worldwide religious reality,
all appropriately impinge on the study of Jesus. The two parts of
the book roughly correspond to the interdependent tasks of
historical description and critical and theological reflection. It
incorporates the most up-to-date historical work on Jesus the Jew
with the 'bigger issues' of critical method, the story of Christian
faith and study, and Jesus in a global church and in the encounter
with Judaism and Islam. Written by seventeen leading international
scholars, the book encourages students of the historical Jesus to
discover the vital contribution of theology, and students of
doctrine to engage the Christ of faith as Jesus the first-century
Jew.
· Accessible treatments of state-of-the-art scholarship on a full
range of subjects pertaining to Jesus and christology · Offers a
unique combination of historical, textual, hermeneutical and
theological perpectives · Emphasizes the continuing significance of
Jesus in an age of globalization
