None. NO OF PAGES: 934 SUB CAT I: Yeshua SUB CAT II: Reference SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: The "Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels" bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth treatment of select topics in an accessible and summary format. The topics range from cross-sectional themes (such as faith, law, Sabbath) to methods of interpretation (such as form criticism, redaction criticism, sociological approaches), from key events (such as the birth, temptation and death of Jesus) to each of the four Gospels. Others reflect recent and less familiar issues in Jesus and Gospel studies, such as divine man, ancient rhetoric and the "chreiai". Contemporary concerns of general interest are discussed in articles covering such topics as healing, the demonic and the historical reliability of the Gospels. And for those entrusted with communicating the message of the Gospels, there is an extensive article on preaching from the Gospels. "The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels" presents the fruit of evangelical New Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century-committed to the authority of Scripture, utilizing the best of critical methods, and maintaining dialog with contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the church.NOTES: Purchased from CBD SUBTITLE: A Compendium of Contemporary Biblical Scholarship This is the first place I look when I have a general question about something to do with the Gospels. It is an excellent dictionary of terms and represents modern scholarship well. This isn't a dictionary in the sense of being helpful with the meanings of Greek words in the Gospels, for that you'll need to look elsewhere. no reviews | add a review
