Christobiography: Memory, History, and the Reliability of the Gospels

5.00 out of 5 stars

Description

The question of whether the canonical Gospels are historically reliable has sparked intense debate. These four ancient biographies, which chronicle Jesus's life, have been meticulously crafted to convey historical information and sources. Recent research on ancient biographies has shed new light on the literary practices of the time, revealing that the Gospel writers adhered to these conventions. In his groundbreaking work, Christobiography, Craig Keener delves into the characteristics of ancient biography, urging scholars to reevaluate the Gospel writers' approach and precision in recounting Jesus's life and ministry. The implications of Keener's research are far-reaching, with significant consequences for the study of the canonical Gospels and the quest for the historical Jesus. Ultimately, Keener's findings confirm that the four canonical Gospels are, in fact, historically reliable ancient biographies.
