Jesus of Nazareth: Message and History

"Anyone who seeks concrete information concerning the time, the appearing of Jesus, his fate, his arrest and trial, will find excellent information here. Moreover, those who study the preaching of Jesus in the framework of the Gospel traditions and their redaction will profit much from this book. It accomplishes its mission in an exemplary way at the highest level of contemporary research."--Rudolf Schnackenburg, University of Würzburg

"Gnilka, the author of major commentaries on the Synoptic Gospels and the Fourth Gospel, with this book focuses upon the issue of the figure whose life-story produced the Gospel traditions. After a careful presentation of his approach to the critical question, he develops a presentation of the man, Jesus of Nazareth, which is both critically acceptable and challenging to all who would claim to be followers of Jesus of Nazareth."--Francis J. Moloney, SDB, professor of theology, Australian Catholic University
