The Historical Jesus

<p>The subject of the historical Jesus is of primary interest today both in scholarly and popular circles. More attention has been given to various aspects of Jesus' life death and resurrection than has been the case in many years. This interest has even extended across the theological spectrum. The number of published books has been staggering and not at all easy to review and survey.Of all these subjects the resurrection of Jesus is like a many faceted diamond. Turned one way it is the very center of the Christian Gospel. From another angle it is the best-attested miracle-claim in Scripture (or in any other holy bookfor that matter). Turned again it provides an evidential basis for Christian theism. Further in the New Testament it is a bridge to almost every major doctrine in the Christian faith as well as being related to multiple areas of Christian practice as well</p>
