The Puzzle of the Gospels

In The Puzzle of the Gospels, a Biblical scholar and a philosopher come together to explain the latest developments in Biblical scholarship and their significance. Alternatives are examined clearly without bias and the sophistication of the Gospels' stories is explained, together with many of the references which would have been understood by first-century readers but which the modern reader may miss.

This book tackles issues at the heart of the Christian faith by taking seriously the Gospel texts themselves. The style is clear and easy to read, and whenever technical terms are used they are explained.
