Jesus The Messiah by Robert H. Stein

A Survey of the Life of Christ

A scholarly survey of Jesus’s life and ministry that situates him within Second Temple Judaism, synthesizing the Gospel accounts to trace his birth narratives, baptism and temptation, proclamation of the kingdom of God, miracles, parables, and self-understanding, culminating in the passion, crucifixion, and resurrection. It assesses historical reliability and chronology, engages issues like the Synoptic relationships and sources, and reflects on the theological significance of his identity and mission for the earliest Christian community.
