A Review of Darrell L. Bock and Robert L. Webb (eds.), Key Events in the Life of the Historical Jesus
In: Journal for the Study of the Historical JesusWhat are the key moments in Jesus’ life? The book edited by Professors Bock and Webb contains the insightful reflections of the IBR Jesus Group. Before evaluating this collective endeavor, one should first compile a list of what one imagines are the key events in Jesus’ life and what methodology helps one make the decisions. Then, perhaps one might benefit by comparing one’s own list with the perspectives of Matthew, Mar, Luke, John, and even the IBR Jesus Group. Most likely, one will admire the Evangelists and the modern scholars’ research.
