Few people seriously question whether Jesus existed in history. But many, influenced by the more skeptical scholars, doubt that the Christ of orthodox Christianity is the same as the Jesus of history. In this important book, historian Paul W. Barnett lays these doubts to rest. He uncovers the methodological weaknesses present in some forms of critical scholarship, demonstrating a failure to account for important early evidence about Jesus. Once the evidence is properly marshalled, a picture of Jesus emerges that fits well with orthodox belief in him. 2012-11-28T02:24:33.862Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:23037 Machine generated contents note: 1.God, the Messiah and history -- 2.Knowing about Jesus -- 3.Messiah promised -- 4.Messiah worshipped -- 5.Messiah recognized -- 6.Messiah's birth -- 7.Messiah 's message -- 8.Messiah's miracles -- 9.Merciful Messiah -- 10.Messiah who is Lord -- 11.Messiah's mission -- 12.Messiah's deity -- 13.Servant Messiah -- 14.Resurrection -- 15.Messiah in the oral tradition -- 16.Messiah's churches -- 17.Hostile witnesses -- 18.Christ in the second century -- 19.Reflection -- Index of Scripture references. 2012-11-28T02:24:19.599Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:13472 Soundly based on historical and New Testament scholarship by Sydney historian John Dickson, this book takes us through what we can know about the life of Jesus. 2011-06-03T05:00:47.043Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:8819 Compellingly establishes the identity of Jesus, the Christ, from historical sources. This book by Paul Barnett is a calculated reaction against the popular dichotomy between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. In Finding the Historical Christ Barnett seeks to establish that the two figures are, in fact, one and the same. The culmination of Barnett's After Jesus trilogy, Finding the Historical Christ carefully examines the ancient sources pertaining to Jesus, including writings by historians hostile to the Christian movement (Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny), the summarized "biographies" of Jesus in the book of Acts, and especially the four canonical Gospels. Based on compelling historical evidence, Barnett maintains that Jesus of Nazareth regarded himself as the prophesied Christ, as did his disciples before Jesus died and rose again. This is the only way to explain the phenomenon of the early church worshiping Jesus. Like his previous works, this volume by Barnett is accessible, well organized, and convincing. 2010-06-30T10:00:09.026Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:6677 Recent claims about the life of Jesus (including The Da Vinci Code) have raised many questions about the historicity of the man from Nazareth. Now John Dickson sets the record straight. He draws on the latest scholarship to provide a succinct account of Jesus' life, teachings, death and resurrection - and his continuing significance today. The text is illustrated throughout with fine art reproductions and photographs of the places that Jesus knew 2010-01-27T22:14:57.723Z ]]>
