A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical JesusMarginal Jew set

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
