Memory, Imagination And History
A major new book on the historical Jesus by one of the world's leading authorities on the Gospels. It presents a compelling argument for accepting the broad outline of the Gospels, and the major sayings and actions of Jesus, as historically reliable.
Dale Allison has written another brilliant book. He manages to dissect technical, complicated subjects and then present them to his readers with remarkable clarity and simplicity. Constructing Jesus will be read with great benefit by scholars, pastors, students, and laity. Readers will find everywhere in this book mastery of the topic, judicious assessment of the options, and invariably sensible and compelling conclusions.
