“A tradition of excellence in biblical scholarship and
A commitment to advancing biblical understanding in the 21st century
The Anchor Yale Bible Series, previously the Anchor Bible Series, is a renowned publishing program that for more than 50 years has produced books devoted to the latest scholarship on the Bible and biblical topics.”
Joining the popular AYB Dictionary and the massive AYB Commentary series, Accordance is thrilled to announce our first two sets from the Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library. For one week you can add these to your Accordance Library at special introductory prices.
A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus
In this definitive 5-volume series on the real, historical Jesus, one of the world’s foremost biblical scholars meticulously sifts the evidence of 2,000 years. The author, John P. Meier, “distinguishes between ‘what I know about Jesus by research and what I hold by faith.’ His study is a necessary purchase for academic libraries” (Library Journal). “Meier points out Jesus’ historical ‘marginality’—his peripheral involvement in the society, history, and culture of his age—that ironically underscores the central position he has occupied in Western culture in the centuries since he died” (Kirkus Reviews).
The five volume set includes:
- Vol. I: The Roots of the Problem and the Person
- Vol. II: Mentor, Message, and Miracles
- Vol. III: Companions and Competitors
- Vol. IV: Law and Love
- Vol. V: Probing the Authenticity of the Parables
