<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Showcasing the work of a new generation of scholars, this volume surveys scholarship and method in historical Jesus studies, New Testament textual criticism and more. Nearly all 175 articles have been reconceived and rewritten to reflect developments in the field since the 1992 edition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>ECPA Christian Book Award Winner<br /> Readers' Choice Award Winner<br /><em>Preaching's</em> Preacher's Guide to the Best Bible Reference</strong> </p><p>The second edition of the <em>Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels</em> is a thoroughly reconstructed and revised version of the critically acclaimed 1992 first edition. Since that groundbreaking volume was published, a wave of Jesus and Gospel scholarship has crested and broken on the shores of a new century.</p><p>Jesus has been proposed as sage, shaman, revolutionary, marginal Jew, Mediterranean peasant or a prophet of Israel's restoration. The non-canonical Gospels have been touted, examined and reassessed. There are revised understandings of historiography, orality, form criticism, empire and more. The second edition of the <em>DJG</em> amply weighs and assess the gains and shortcomings of this new scholarship.</p><p>Here is a self-contained reference library of information and perspective essential to exploring Jesus and the Gospels. This volume bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and interested readers who want thorough treatments of key topics in an accessible and summary format. Articles cover each Gospel, major themes in the Gospels, key episodes in the life of Jesus, significant background topics, as well as issues and methods of interpretation.</p><p>Among other benefits, it allows multiple opportunities for each of the Gospels to be weighed and heard in its own voice. Bibliographies are full and up to date, putting readers in touch with the best work in the field. All of this allows the articles to serve as launching pads for further research.</p><p>When the first edition of the <em>Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels</em> was published, it was immediately recognized as an innovative reference work. By taking a particular corpus of biblical books and exploring it with in-depth articles written by specialists in the field, it refashioned a staple reference genre. This dictionary model has now been applied to each segment of the biblical canon in successive volumes.</p><p>Those who have enjoyed and benefitted from the wealth in the first edition will find the second edition an equally indispensable companion to study and research. Over ninety percent of the articles have been completely rewritten, and the rest thoroughly revised and updated. Here is the doorway into a reliable and comprehensive summary and appraisal of the last twenty years of Jesus scholarship. A new generation of scholars has opened the way to make this a <em>Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels</em> for the twenty-first century.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>[A]n excellent resource for those who really want to go deeper into the Gospels and the Messiah to whom they faithfully witness.</p>--Rev. Dr. Bob Robinson, Latimer Fellowship, 2015<br><br><p>Like its predecessor, this is an excellent reference tool for scholars and students alike.</p>--European Journal of Theology, 26:1, 2017<br><br><p>The articles are carefully written, edited, and indexed, and they end with a bibliography. They will lead serious readers (including nonspecialists) through various issues, including thorny ones, to plausible, defensible understandings. Highly recommended.</p>--P. L. Redditt, CHOICE, March 2014<br><br><p>This dictionary splendidly succeeds at giving a snapshot of scholarly evangelical assessment of Jesus and Gospels studies circa the years leading up to its publication date. . . . no single volume can cover all that might and should be said about Jesus, the Gospels, our knowledge of them, and their implications for us and our world (cf. John 21:25). <em>Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels</em> comes as close as could be hoped and deserves a wide usage.</p>--Robert W. Yarbrough, Themelios, April 2015, 40:1<br>
