The Historical Christ and the Jesus of Faith

The New Testament contains a story about Jesus of Nazareth. The Christian Church has always understood this narrative as the story of the Son of God, who redeemed the fallen human race by his life, death, and resurrection. Can such a story be historically true? This book argues that it can. Careful considerations of the philosophical and literary assumptions of sceptical contemporary New Testament scholars does not undermine a conviction that the story is true.
