The Continuing Voice of Jesus: Christian Prophecy and the Gospel Tradition

Here M. Eugene Boring traces the role that early Christian prophets played in the transmission of sayings of Jesus and in the way these sayings were taken up into the canonical Gospels. He also examines Jesus sayings to uncover the imprint that any might bear of having been handed on by early Christian prophets. Convincingly he shows that early Christian prophets re-presented authentic sayings of Jesus or modified Jesus sayings or even uttered new sayings in the name of the exalted Jesus. Clearly written and closely reasoned this book sheds light on a much neglected area of Gospel research.
