What exactly did the first Christians say about Jesus? In From Good News to Gospels David Wenham delves into the Gospels, Acts, and the writings of Paul to uncover evidence of a strong and substantial oral tradition in the early church. With implications for the historicity of the New Testament, the Synoptic problem, the composition of the gospels, and other topics of vital concern, From Good News to Gospels will inform, engage, and challenge readers, inspiring them to better understand and appreciate the earliest gospel message.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">David Wenham</note> <subject> <topic>Religion -- Christian Theology -- Christology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">232.09015</classification> <classification authority="ddc">D249-W47</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802873682</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070359.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
