About the Book

This volume will unpack the seven allegations proposed by Scot McKnight in his article 'Calling Jesus Mamzer' in the inaugural volume of The Journal for the Historical Jesus (Volume 1.1 2003: 73-103). Each essay will explore the historicity of each accusation and what they tell us about Jesus. McKnight and Modica propose that by examining these specific allegations, one can begin to comprehend a neglected dimension of historical Jesus studies, namely, that Jesus can be understood by what his opponents (critics) say of him. They contend that such an approach offers, as Malina and Neyrey have previously examined in Calling Jesus Names, a 'Christology from the side'. There will be an introductory and concluding essay from the editors.

Review :
Mention -New Testament Abstracts, Vol. 53 No. 1, 2009 Review in International Review of Biblical Studies, vol. 54:2007/08 "a collection of interesting essays on the seven accusations against Jesus within the Gospel traditions." Journal for the Study of the New Testament Booklist 2009 "For those who interact with the wide array of Christologies from the top and bottom, these Christological essays "from the side" (i.e. what insults Jesus' contemporaries voiced about him) will engage the discipline in a new direction. The collection reminds readers that even hostile witnesses do reflect within their slanderous labels reliable details about the historical Jesus." --John Harrison, Graduate School of Theology, Oklahoma Christian University, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society "Certainly [a book] for all librares and for the NT scholars"   Publishing News, October 2007 "[T]his collection of essays serves well to advance the pursuit of what can reliably be known about the historical Jesus. Anyone engaged in the quest should certainly read this book. For those who claim very little can be known about the historical Jesus, the presentations here must be acknowledged and engaged." -- M. Robert Mulholland, Review of Biblical Literature
