About the Book

This book offers an ideal introduction to the Gospels and explains why it is that scholars and lay people have such different understandings of the person of Jesus. The first half of the book looks at the main sources for the life of Jesus, principally the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but also the so-called apocryphal Gospels. The second half of the book begins with an examination of the criteria employed by scholars to determine the earliest and most reliable forms of the tradition. This volume now includes: study questions at the end of each chapter, updated reading lists, and two new chapters bringing the scholarship up to date.

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction; 2. Gospel of Mark; 3. Gospel of Matthew; 4. Gospel of Luke; 5. Gospel of John; 6. Apocryphal Gospels; 7. The Quest for the Historical Jesus; 8. Jesus: prophet of the coming kingdom; 9. Jesus: teacher and sage; 10. Political and ethical interpretations of Jesus; 11. Jesus in Art, Media and Culture; 12. Conclusion; Appendix. Further Reading; Bibliography.

Review :
'It is for students and teachers...and should serve them well. The arrangement of topics is logical [and]...It is easy for students to use.' --Sanford Lakoff "Methodist Recorder " 'Moyise and Marsh have written a very useful student introduction to key issues in the critical study of Jesus and the Gospels. It does not leap straight in to the quest of the historical Jesus but helpfully surveys the relevant materials, and provides valuable summaries of the positions of major scholars. This is a concise, readable and appealing invitation to study Jesus and the Gospels.' --Sanford Lakoff 'The first edition of this book has already proved its worth to students beginning Gospel study. In this revised and expanded version its authors - experienced teachers of Theology and New Testament - offer a succinct, readable, and stimulating introduction. The writers maintain a good balance between more technical aspects of the subject (e.g., Gospel composition and relationships, "historical Jesus" issues) and matters of more general interest.' --Sanford Lakoff "this text is informative and well-written...each chapter is furnished with a solid conclusion, a bibliography for further reading, and further questions to consider.This text is a valuable introduction to the Gospels and equips the reader with a framework that will prove useful for further studies in the Gospels" Theological Book Review Vol. 19 No. 1 2007--Sanford Lakoff "The book clearly explins the issues involved for scholars in studying Jesus and the Gospels with chapters usually including conclusion/summary, further reading and question yo aid readers" Journal for the study of the New Testament, 30 May 2008--Sanford Lakoff Reviewed in International Review of Biblical Studies, 2007.
