Book Synopsis Challenges to Biblical Interpretation by : Heikki Räisänen
Book excerpt: This book questions the authenticity of some sayings and stories counted to the "bedrock" of the Jesus tradition, analyses the ambiguous relationship of early Christians to their Jewish heritage and offers a fresh discussion of fundamental questions of principle. It offers a selection of the author's seminal recent articles, focusing on Jesus, Paul, and questions of principle. The author reflects on the use of New Testament in responsible modern theology, defending classical historical criticism against recent challenges.
