Editorial Reviews

▼▲

“Jesus, Paul, and the Gospels forms both a capstone and an introduction to Jimmy Dunn’s groundbreaking works about the beginnings of Christianity. If I had only one volume to put in the hands of someone who asked, ‘Where do I begin to read Dunn?’ this would be the book.”
— Scot McKnight
North Park University

“In this clear and insightful book, James Dunn offers a concise yet panoramic view of the origins of the early Jesus movement — a subject in which he has long been a proven master.”
— Bruce W. Longenecker
Baylor University

“Anyone seeking an introduction to Jesus, Paul, the Gospels, and their interconnections will find no better book than this. The fruit of a lifetime of research by a master scholar-teacher, it is vintage Dunn: clear, concise, creative, and credible.”
— Michael J. Gorman
St. Mary’s Seminary and University
