"In this book with Ben Simpson, Darrell Bock, one of evangelicalism's leading historical Jesus scholars, takes the fruit of decades of technical scholarship on every major phase of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection and offers it concisely at a very readable level. Particularly helpful is the view that the Synoptics present Jesus from the earth up, whereas John depicts him from heaven down. An excellent resource that deserves widespread use."
--Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary
