BOOK PREVIEW "The Jesus Seminar is the creation of a media-culture looking for a story. This book refutes its conclusions point by point." --THOMAS C. ODEN, Drew Theological School "This excellent anthology exposes the flawed method- ology of the Jesus Seminar. As Jesus Under Fire shows, the Jesus Seminar's minimal data- base of "authentic" sayings of Jesus is simply entailed by their eccentric view of Jesus." --STEPHEN T. DAVIS, Claremont McKenna College | News Releases | Contents | Seminar | Jesus Under Fire: Modern scholarship reinvents the historical Jesus Editors: Michael J. Wilkins and J.P. Moreland Publisher: Zondervan, 1995, 243 pp. ISBN: 0-310-21139-5 Price: $12.99 TO ORDER BACK COVER: Who is Jesus? What did he do? What did he say? Are the traditional answers to these questions still to be trusted? Did the early church and tradition "Christianize" Jesus? Or was Christianity built on the character and actions of an actual person? In the last few years, these and similar questions have been the subject of scrutiny by a forum of biblical scholars called the Jesus Seminar. Their conclusions have been widely publicized and disseminated to the general public in magazines such as Time and Newsweek. Ideas that once were contained within the theological community are now being heard and accepted by many in the larger population. Combining accessibility with scholarly depth, Jesus Under Fire helps readers judge for themselves whether or not the Jesus of the Bible is the Jesus of history, and whether the Gospels' claim is valid that he is the only way to God.
