Synopsis

This is the first fully comprehensive account of the debate between modern scholars on the Jesus of history before he became the Christ of faith. David Boulton surveys all the major schools of historical Jesus scholarship in turn: the liberal Jesus Seminar, the conservative 'New Questers' and the radical sceptics, covering over 30 experts. He lays out the sources, biblical, 'heretical' and secular, taking in the most recent discoveries and explaining where historians agree and disagree in recovering a credible portrait of the man behind 'the greatest story ever told'.

Media Reviews
Brilliant and timely... everyone ought to read it, especially those with no sympathy for religion and its crazier adherants... David Boulton is an investigative journalist and this book is an enormous achievement, with its vivid descriptions of what scholars have uncovered... A useful resource for people who want a one-volume guide to a multi-volume industry. It's all here, and it's as up-to-date as you are likely to get. Richard Holloway, former Bishop of Edinburgh
