Kirjan takakannesta:

Jesus according to Scripture shows that a coherent portrait of Jesus emerges from the Gospels when they are taken seriously as historical documents. The second edition has been substantially revised and updated and includes three new chapters.

I am pleased that a second edition of Bock's Jesus according to Scripture is now available. This book offers a needed corrective to the quirky portraits of Jesus that have appeared in recent years. As the title implies, Bock and Simpson present Jesus in the light of what the Gospels actually say. Readers will especialy appreciate the accessible layout.

Two centuries of scholarly inquiry have demonstrated that the &slquo;canonical Jesus&srquo; is the closest we will ever get to the &slquo;real Jesus.&srquo; Jesus accoring to Scripture presents a portrait of this canonical Jesus through a detailed engagement with the Gospel material. Assuming a historically and theologically complementary relationship among the diverse and complec materials in the four Gospels, Bock and Simpson have with the second edition strengthened this important resource for assessing the meaning of Jesus of Nazareth for the twenty-first-century church.

Jesus according to Scripture offers something of undeniable value: a comprehensive investigation of the portrayal of Jesus in the four Gospels informed by the best historical Jesus research, taking careful note of similarities and differences among the four accounts. The book represents a major resouce for restoring the full portrait of Jesus from the Gospels.
