8vo 21.5 x 14 cm.; ix - 154 pp. Notes and bibliography. Cunningham takes a hard look at the distinctive views of scholars involved in the debate over the historicity of Jesus - Raymond Brown, John Crossan, Luke Johnson, EP Sanders, John Meier, Geza Vermes. This debate need not be a threat to a Christian faith but rather can enrich our understandin g of Jesus. Only by appreciating the Jesus of history can we begin to grasp how he transcends it. Cunningham is a priest and writer and lecturer. An as-new and unused book.
