The Essential Jesus Bundle (NSBT)
The historical Jesus is a hotly debated subject today with many disagreements regarding His message and intentions. These four NSBT volumes explore the doubts and arguments that seek to manifest a very different Jesus than the one historical Christianity has taught for two thousand years. Paul W. Barnett examines the methodological weaknesses in some forms of critical scholarship demonstrating the reliability for the Jesus of orthodoxy. Graham Cole seeks to answer Anselm’s question, “Why did God become man?” by considering the theological and existential implications of the incarnation. Andrew S. Malone examines the meaning of Priesthood in the Old and New Covenants and its relationship to the people of God. Focusing on the book of Hebrews and what Christ’s priesthood means for His people. Finally Craig L. Blomberg examines Jesus’ “table fellowship” with sinners as seen in the Gospels. He surveys meals in the Old Testament, the intertestamental period, and the Gospel, concluding with contemporary applications.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Barnett offers important contributions to the manner in which we may responsibly work as both historians and theologians to understand not only the nascent Christian church, but also the historical Jesus whom they confessed . . . [His] work deserves wide dissemination.”
D. A. Carson
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“Although I had been aware of Cole as a theologian and writer, this was actually the first book of his I read. But, it was such an enjoyable experience, before I knew it, I had also worked my way through God The Peacemaker: How Atonement Brings Shalom (excellent). . . . Like most all the volumes in this series I have read, this book was richly biblical, theological insightful, and pastorally relevant.”

“Among the many strengths of Andrew Malone's impressive work, this book fills out both individual and corporate priesthood themes. . . . It carefully surveys the voluminous biblical material on the Levitical priesthood, but it does not ignore how the Melchizedekian priesthood intersects with the Levitical priesthood in ways that make sense only where there is a sensitive biblical-theological reading of the data.”
D. A. Carson
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“Dr. Blomberg not only addresses current disputes about the 'table fellowship' practices of the historical Jesus, but also traces out the historical and theologically laden implications of table fellowship across the canon of Scripture, and issues a call to contemporary Christians to reform their habits in this matter.”
