'It is for students and teachers...and should serve them well. The
arrangement of topics is logical [and]...It is easy for students to
use.' --Sanford Lakoff "Methodist Recorder "
'Moyise and Marsh have written a very useful student introduction
to key issues in the critical study of Jesus and the Gospels. It
does not leap straight in to the quest of the historical Jesus but
helpfully surveys the relevant materials, and provides valuable
summaries of the positions of major scholars. This is a concise,
readable and appealing invitation to study Jesus and the Gospels.'
--Sanford Lakoff
'The first edition of this book has already proved its worth to
students beginning Gospel study. In this revised and expanded
version its authors - experienced teachers of Theology and New
Testament - offer a succinct, readable, and stimulating
introduction. The writers maintain a good balance between more
technical aspects of the subject (e.g., Gospel composition and
relationships, "historical Jesus" issues) and matters of more
general interest.' --Sanford Lakoff
"this text is informative and well-written...each chapter is
furnished with a solid conclusion, a bibliography for further
reading, and further questions to consider.This text is a valuable
introduction to the Gospels and equips the reader with a framework
that will prove useful for further studies in the Gospels"
Theological Book Review Vol. 19 No. 1 2007--Sanford Lakoff
"The book clearly explins the issues involved for scholars in
studying Jesus and the Gospels with chapters usually including
conclusion/summary, further reading and question yo aid readers"
