{"product_id":"an-introduction-to-jesus-and-the-gospels-463354","title":"An Introduction to Jesus and the Gospels","description":"Jesus and the Gospels is one of the most popular religion courses at colleges, and it is required at many seminaries and divinity schools. This textbook, written by an award-winning educator, is designed for a semester-long course in both these settings. Moreover, it could be used as a supplementary text in courses on christology, the historical Jesus, New Testament literature, and the Bible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Murphy will provide an introduction to the gospels that does justice to the full range of modern critical methods and insights. He will discuss the implications of these methods for how we understand the nature of the gospels and how we can read them today. The chapters will sketch the portrait of Jesus that emerges from each gospel, and then examine the canonical view of Jesus by comparing and contrasting these pictures, as well as the ones that emerge from the non-canonical gospels and from the modern quest for the historical Jesus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter list:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction, Theological and Historical Backgrounds;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1, What is a Gospel?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2, History of Critical Methods for Gospel Study;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3, The Gospel of Mark;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4, Q;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5, Matthew;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6, Luke;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7, John;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8, Other Gospels (Gospel of Thomas, Infancy Gospels, other Apocryphal Gospels); Chapter 8, Christian Interpretations of Jesus;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9, The Historical Jesus;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10, Conclusion; Glossary; Further Reading; Notes; Subject Index.
