Fortress Press is discontinuing the sale of Jesus of Nazareth but is happy to announce that Jesus of Nazareth is available from Amazon.com.To order this title click here.Hailed as "an event in the intellectual history of our time," Günther Bornkamm's Jesus of Nazareth marked a turning point in modern understanding of the Gospels and the elusive figure who stands behind them. While Bornkamm admits, with Albert Schweitzer and others, that it remains impossible to write a "biography" of Jesus, he shows in this book that it is possible to arrive at a reliable understanding of Jesus' thought and teaching and to achieve a historically sound picture of the sort of person Jesus was, as well as what he was trying to accomplish.Reissued here with an insightful foreword by Helmut Kioester, Bornkamm's study is one of those rare books that appeal to both the trained theologian and the inquiring layperson. Writing with clarity and care, he encourages the reader to explore further as he expands our understanding of Jesus and his message for humanity. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

However, in 1956 Bornkamm wrote this influential book, which begins by stating, "No one is any longer in a position to write a life of Jesus," not least because the gospel writers display "an incontestable loyalty and adherence to the word of Jesus, and at the same time an astonishing degree of freedom as to the original wording." Nevertheless, Bornkamm maintained that there was a layer of historical recollection that underlay the gospel accounts, which "do speak of history as occurrence and event."
Bornkamm believed that there were certain events in the life of Jesus that were incontestably historical; for example, "The fact that Jesus let himself be baptised by John belongs to the data of his life which cannot be doubted." Also, that "Jesus had to reckon with the possibility of his own violent end, we have no reason to doubt." He is even willing to credit some historical truth to the gospel stories about Jesus' death, since "nothing would be more wrong than to deny that there is any historical truth in the story in the gospels about Jesus' suffering and death, simply because the church's faith was specially concerned with this piece of tradition.
