Fuller, Journal of the American Academy of Religion "This is a first-rate work of a first-rate historian."—James D.

With great care she distinguishes the literary images from historical fact. As she does so, she explains the images of Jesus in terms of the strategies and purposes of the writers Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John."—Thomas D’Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor
