The Gospel Jesus

For about thirty years the faith of Christians has been periodically assailed, and the forbearance of biblical scholars tested to the utmost by a seemingly unending series of publications about Jesus and the origins of Christianity. They offer a radical reinterpretation of Jesus' significance and have painted, variously, a picture of a wild revolutionary, an unworldly dupe, a royal pretender, a common magician. The Gospels are alleged to be distortions and important facts about Jesus are said to have been suppressed by the Church.

Bartley provides a survey of these works, endeavoring to obtain a clearer perspective and dispel the confusion by careful inquiry into current New Testament scholarship.
