Jesus And History

Jesus and History examines the historical background of the gospels, addressing questions such as: Can we identify their authors and dates, or were they later forgeries? Are the people and places in the Gospels historical or mythological? Did Jesus do the miracles or make the claims attributed to Him or did early Christians exaggerate His life? Who is He? Chapters include: The Life of Jesus in the Epistles; Gospel people also mentioned in non-Christian sources; Places in the Gospels; and Jesus, History, and Miracles. This exhaustive work includes 371 end notes, Glossary included. Also included at the appendix is rare historical research on abortion in the ancient world and the response by the first Christians.
