    The publication of Richard Burridge's What Are the Gospels? in 1992 inaugurated a transformation in Gospel studies by overturning the previous consensus about Gospel uniqueness. Burridge argued convincingly for an understanding of the Gospels as biographies, a ubiquitous genre in the Graeco-Roman world. To establish this claim, Burridge compared each of the four canonical Gospels to the many extant Graeco-Roman biographies. Drawing on insights from literary theory, he demonstrated that the previously widespread view of the Gospels as unique compositions was false. Burridge went on to discuss what a properly "biographical" perspective might mean for Gospel interpretation, which was amply demonstrated in the revised second edition reflecting on how his view had become the new consensus. This third, twenty-fifth anniversary edition not only celebrates the continuing influence of What Are the Gospels?, but also features a major new contribution in which Burridge analyzes recent debates and scholarship about the Gospels. Burridge both answers his critics and reflects upon the new directions now being taken by those who accept the biographical approach. This new edition also features as an appendix a significant article in which he tackles the related problem of the genre of Acts. A proven book with lasting staying power, What Are the Gospels? is not only still as relevant and instructive as it was when first published, but will also doubtlessly inspire new research and scholarship in the years ahead.--Publisher

    "This book is a reconstruction of the life of Jesus from his birth to his death, with a focus on understanding him in the context of his own time and place. Wassen and Hägerland consider Jesus as an apocalyptic prophetic figure within the context of first-century Judaism. They take a narrative approach, examining Jesus' life in order and draw together the threads of scholarly discussion on the history, archaeology and geography of first-century Galilee into a complete picture of Jesus' world suitable for a non-specialist audience. Together the chapters provide a deeply informed introduction to Jesus in his first-century context. The authors follow a scientific worldview for historical reconstruction, drawing readers' attention to the rhetorical aspects of the texts of the New Testament and problematising these elements. They embed the texts surrounding Jesus in the context of first-century Galilee with historical and archaeological reflections and discussion and, in particular, with penetrating insights from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Illustrated throughout with photographs taken by the authors specifically to offer insights into the world of Jesus and the New Testament writings."
