The King of God's Kingdom

Scholars clergy and lay people alike will welcome this publication that addresses the problems raised by biblical scholarship concerning the man Jesus and his mission.<br /> <br /> A cross between a life of Christ and a contribution to the quest of the historical Jesus this book offers a thorough presentation and analysis of all the major events and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Sometimes the groupings are thematic sometimes the structure is chronological but always there is a robust defense of the historicity of the canonical Gospels' material along with penetrating analysis as to its meaning... Evangelicals who want to write on the historical Jesus and/or the life of the Christ in the future will most assuredly have to take thoroughly into account both the form and content of Seccombe's volume. Someone who has never read a work of this genre would be hard pressed to find a better exemplar with which to begin. - Craig L Blomberg.
