Jesus the Messiah: A Survey of the Life of Christ (1996)
by Robert H. Stein
by Robert H. Stein
This book is very scholarly,
I mean, technical but not that hard to understand. It seem like Professor
Robert Stein aims at writing this book for seminary students. Prof Stein is a
fine evangelical New Testament scholar. In this book, he draws together the
results of a career of research and writing on Jesus and the Gospels. “Every episode in the life of Jesus is here
treated with historical care and attention to its significance for
understanding the life and ministry of Jesus.” To me, this book give
inquiring minds a sure grounding in Jesus the Messiah.
This book is divided into
2 parts and 19 chapters:

Determines Where You Finish: The Role of Presuppositions in Studying the Life
