Who Was Jesus?

Amazon

In Who Was Jesus?, G.A. Wells presents a survey of critical scholarly findings on the New Testament, in each case explaining the reasons for the scholars’ conclusions, and describing those issues where scholars still disagree. By lucidly recounting the principles on which New Testament criticism is based, this book enables readers to make up their own minds, while gently pointing to Wells’s radical conclusion that the totality of the evidence supports the hypothesis of an entirely legendary Jesus. In the author’s opinion, the analyses of most critics have been inhibited by their theological preconceptions, so that they have failed to draw the disturbing conclusions warranted by their findings.
