Book description

'Gospel' initially referred to oral proclamation concerning Jesus Christ, but was later used to refer to four written accounts of the life of Jesus. How did this happen? Here, distinguished scholar Graham Stanton uses new evidence and fresh perspectives to tackle this controversial question. He insists that in the early post-Easter period, the Gospel of Jesus Christ was heard against the backdrop of a rival set of 'gospels' concerning the Roman emperors. In later chapters Stanton examines the earliest criticisms of Jesus and of claims concerning his resurrection. Finally, he discusses the early Christian addiction to the codex (book) format as opposed to the ubiquitous roll, and undermines the view that early copies of the Gospels were viewed as downmarket handbooks of an inward looking sect. With half the material previously unpublished and the rest carefully gathered from sources difficult to access, this is a timely study with broad appeal.

' … it has all the hallmarks of Stanton's previous books: careful scholarship, readability and fresh insights … This book both breaks new ground and summarises recent research into the development of the gospel canon. It is New Testament scholarship at its best.'

Source: Ministry Today

'The beauty of [Stanton's] book is that he takes what look like trivial questions (What is a Gospel? How is the word used in non-Christian writings of the period? Why are there four Gosepls? Why was Jesus called a magician, and by whom? What were the objections put by sceptics to the resurrection of Jesus?) and opens them out to disclose important issues you might never have though about.'

Source: Church Times

'Stanton's explanation of the origins of 'Gospel' and his theories on the emergence of the codex are fascinating. … the author exhibits a fine knowledge of early gospel papyri. … This book would interest all students of earliest Christianity.'

Source: Themelios

Jesus and Gospel has all the hallmarks of Stanton's previous books: Stanton has written a volume that is eminently readable , informative at every point and accessible to scholar, student and ardent reader of Christian origins alike. The style of this remarkable piece of scholarship is simple, clear and attractive. Stanton has presented a brilliant book that hopefully has already found its way not only into university libraries but also onto the bookcases of many exegetes. This short, readable book by Stanton makes an important contribution to the study of Christian origins. It is New Testament scholarship at it's best and deserves attention and applause.'
