Jesus

Jesus is a richly informed and thoughtful approach to historical knowledge of Jesus from a seasoned scholar. Both a senior scholar and a practicing Christian, Puig i Tàrrech navigates the complexity of the questions, the sources, and the criteria for making historical statements about Jesus.

~Larry Hurtado, Director of the Centre for the Study of Christian Origins, The University of Edinburgh

In an accessible format, Jesus familiarizes readers with the textual evidence on which an analysis of Jesus must be based. Puig i Tàrrech understands that when Jesus is located within his generative environment, we can discern the dimensions of personal development that move us out of asking whether a person exists and into the realm of critical biography.

~Bruce Chilton, Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Religion, Bard College

With the publication of Tàrrech's book, the English-speaking world can hear for the first time a celebrated Catalan NT scholar.... [W]ith his critical historical thinking, his theological reflection, and genuine spiritual concerns, Tàrrech makes a profound impact on his readers.

~Beniamin Pascut, Religious Studies Review
