Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels

This Spanish edition corresponds to the second English edition of the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels. It is a completely reconstructed and revised version of the acclaimed first edition from 1992. Since the publication of that groundbreaking volume, a wave of new discoveries and academic and research writings have appeared on the shores of this new century, many of which are documented in this tome. A reference work, independent of the essential information and perspective for exploring Jesus and the Gospels. This volume brings together two areas and perspectives: that of academics and that of pastors, teachers, students, and interested readers who desire in-depth studies of key topics, in an accessible and summarized format. The articles cover each Gospel, the main episodes of Jesus' life, transcendental themes, as well as problems and methods of interpretation. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is an indispensable companion for study and research. It is the gateway to a reliable and complete summary and evaluation of the last twenty years of research on Jesus. A new generation of scholars has paved the way for the 21st century.
