About this book
Published posthumously, this volume takes its place alongside Jesus the Messiah as one of the most significant and convincing studies of the New Testament message of the latter half of the 20th century. With a life-time of critical research behind him, and working with the sharpest modern tools, the author has produced a highly constructive account of the teaching and ministry of Jesus that compels acceptance. He succeeds brilliantly where so many others have been baffled in the quest for the historical Jesus, both because he is so ruthlessly self-critical in attacking unwarranted preconceptions and because of the nature of his penetrating theological insight. This is 'depth-exegesis' at its best, in which the actual substance of the evangelical message is laid bare in its own arresting force, without being obscured by arbitrary impositions from the side of the interpreter. Manson's elucidation of the Christian ethic is superb, and his discussion of the Christian's involvement in the historical mission of Christ brings the original thrust of the Gospel to bear directly upon the present in a startling and powerful way.
