The Misguided Quest for the Historical Jesus and the Truth of the Traditional Gospels.
This is the first book to challenge the findings of the Jesus Seminar, the controversial group of two hundred scholars who claim Jesus only said 18 percent of what the Gospels attribute to him. According to the 'New York Times, the book "is at the centre of the newest round in what has been called the Jesus Wars".
Drawing on the best biblical and historical scholarship, respected New Testament scholar Luke Timothy Johnson demonstrates that the "real Jesus' is the one experienced in the present through faith rather than the one found in speculative historical reconstructions. A new preface by the author presents his point of view on the most recent rounds of this lively debate.
