"""Crossley and Keith represent the latest approach to historical Jesus studies in an innovative volume of essays that helpfully inhabits the chasm between history and hagiography."" --Clare Rothschild, Lewis University"

"""This is a timely tome! Just when most critical Jesus-scholars are seriously questioning standard assumptions, concepts, and procedures, Crossley and Keith present us with a plethora of fine articles on particular issues and aspects of Jesus. This fine collection is well worth mining, again and again, for information and insights."" --Richard Horsley, University of Massachusetts Boston ""Crossley and Keith represent the latest approach to historical Jesus studies in an innovative volume of essays that helpfully inhabits the chasm between history and hagiography."" --Clare Rothschild, Lewis University ""This important volume is much more than 'yet another quest for the historical Jesus'; the breadth of expertise of its collaborators and the range of contextual perspectives it explores set a new standard that will make it essential reading for all 21st-century students of Jesus of Nazareth and of the origins of the movement he inspired."" --Judith Lieu, Robinson College (Cambridge, UK)"
