The Story of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Harrisville’s book sharply puts the central questions for readers of the New Testament. What can we know about Jesus and what can we believe about him? His answer to the first question is a detailed scholarly reckoning that runs throughout the book. His answer to the second stands in the tradition of Pascal and others. Faith is finally a wager, or more fully an act of trust, taken with due respect to the evidence and full knowledge of the stakes. Harrisville’s personal answers to these questions are informed and provocative and will both challenge and reward the engaged reader.”
