John R. Morris, OP has recently published Jesus, the Person and the Mission: Searching for the Jesus of History. The publisher’s description of the book reads:
“This book is a search for the Jesus of history, the Jesus experienced by his disciples during his public life. Its objective is to discover the authentic words and deeds attributable to Jesus with historical certitude. It accounts for his Jewish religious background and the historical context in which he carried out his mission. Central to this work is Jesus’ relationship to his Abba and his personal understanding of his mission. Special attention is devoted to the major events and teaching of Jesus: his baptism, his miracles, his preaching and parables, and his Last Supper. The Jesus of history, the person and his words and deeds, are foundational for the faith of the early church and the written Scriptures that followed his death and resurrection. They are also foundational for contemporary faith."
It is the author’s conviction that contemporary Christology must consider the Jesus of history. The book can be ordered through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Yipf & Stock, the publisher.
