Review Quotes:
"Rediscovering Jesus is like an expert journalist or photographer examining the subject--in this case, Jesus--from all sides and angles. Not only do you get perspectives from the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament, but also impressions from Muslims, Mormons, movies and more besides. Few textbooks do as good of a job as this one in helping students engage with Jesus' question 'Who do you say that I am?'"
Nijay Gupta, assistant professor of New Testament, George Fox Evangelical Seminary
