Produktbeschreibung

A great majority of biblical scholars and historians accept the historical existence of a 1st century Galilean teacher named Yeshua (Jesus) Scholars of the historical Jesus distinguish their subject from the "Jesus Christ" of Christianity.Scholarly opinions on the historicity of the New Testament accounts are diverse. At the extremes, they range from the view that they are inerrant descriptions of the life of Jesus, to the view that they provide no historical information about his life. The sources extant contain little evidence of Jesus' life before the account of Jesus' Baptism, and it has been suggested by many that the events recorded in the gospels cover a period of less than three years. Historians subject the gospels to critical analysis, attempting to differentiate authentic, reliable information from what they judge to be inventions, exaggerations, and alterations. Although almost all Christian movements hold that the Bible passages were written under the direct inspiration of God, and thus represent the Word of God, authors such as Raymond Brown have presented arguments that the Gospels contradict each other in various respects and on various details.
