| In the bewildering array of competing theories about the historical figure of Jesus, Theissen's and Merz's major new volume accurately and authoritatively presents the results of historical Jesus research in a comprehensive, intelligible, reliable format. Himself a pioneer in the study of the sociology of earliest Christianity, Theissen explains the problems and summarizes the results of the field, using both canonical and noncanonical sources. He offers a fair representation of Jesus as he appears in mainstream exegesis: a more Jewish Jesus than the traditional portraits, but also more political and more messianic. The reader gets a clear picture of how Jesus the Jewish prophet came to be understood as a divine figure. With its clear organization and style, many learning aids, its explanations of the history of research, and its bibliographies of both continental and North American work, Theissen's work sets a new standard and will be an ideal handbook for lay persons or clergy, or a textbook for colleges and seminaries.
