Publisher Synopsis
"...if you want to see what a thoughtful, modernist historical critic has to say that is critical of biblical historical criticism- i.e., 'from within', as it were. Or if you're looking for succinct, insightful discussion of the views of either Crossan or Meyer. The book is generally well written... There is a helpful introduction and an extensive bibliography, and indexes of names and biblical citations."- George Aichele, The Bible and Critical Theory, Vol. 2, Number 1, 2006 -- George Aichele 'The author examines the work of two historical Jesus scholars who stand out in the field for their rigorous attention to method, and makes a case for the late BEn Meyer;s method as presenting advances over that of Crossan.' ~ International Review of Biblical Studies, vol 51, 2004/05 'This book is a must read for anyone interested in historical Jesus research...for its analyses thereof. In fact, it must count as one of the finest explorations of historiography in Jesus research.' ~ Pieter F Craffert, Neotestamentica 40.1 (2006) -- Pieter F Craffert "Donald L. Denton has written a helpful book which presents the case for 'holism', broadly conceived, in a convincing and interesting way, and in so doing makes a number of acute remarks about the two scholars with whom he is principally concerned." James Carleton Paget, University of Cambridge, The Journal of Theological Studies "...Denton provides an in-depth analysis of historiography that includes discussion not only of Crossan and Meyer but of other significant Jesus scholars as well. I highly recommend this book to those interested in NT historiography and for specialists in the field of historical Jesus studies." - Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society * Journal of Evangelical Theological Society * Read more...
