Jesus in the Gospels: A Biblical Christology

According to renowned biblical scholar Rudolf Schnackenburg a truly historical portrait of Jesus is unattainable because the primary sources written about Jesus were not historical records as such. What is attainable however is a faith interpretation of Jesus life and works gleaned from the writings of those closest to the life of Christ: the four Gospels. Thus Schnackenburg provides a full faith interpretation of Jesus as each Gospel community portrayed him. A surprising number of commonalities about Jesus are revealed and a fully recognizable portrait of Jesus emerges.
