Who Is Jesus of Nazareth?
What you can know about Jesus.
Jesus is the most influential person in history. But not everyone agrees on who he was. Was he a fraud, a failed savior, or the Messiah? What can you know for sure about him?
In Who Is Jesus of Nazareth?, Craig L. Blomberg shows what you can know about Jesus and how you can know it. There is a wealth of information about Jesus from ancient sources, whether Christian or non-Christian, oral traditions or written manuscripts. Blomberg guides you through these sources, so you can investigate them for yourself. Explore the evidence about Jesus and why he matters today.

Praise for the Questions for Restless Minds series
“This generation of Christians inhabit cultures that sometimes reject not only biblical revelation about reality but also the reality of reality itself. The Questions for Restless Minds series poses many of the toughest questions faced by young Christians to some of the world’s foremost Christian thinkers and leaders. Along the way, this series seeks to help the Christian next generation to learn how to think biblically when they face questions in years to come that perhaps no one yet sees coming.”
—Russell Moore, public theologian, Christianity Today
If you’re hungry to go deeper in your faith, wrestle with hard questions, and are dissatisfied with the shallow content on your social media newsfeed, you’ll really appreciate this series of thoughtful deep dives on critically important topics like faith, the Bible, friendship, sexuality, philosophy, and more. As you engage with some world-class Christian scholars, you’ll be encouraged, equipped, challenged, and above all invited to love God more with your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
