The Historical Christ & the Jesus of Faith ' the Incarnational Narrative as History '
The New Testament contains a story about Jesus of Nazareth. The Christian Church has always understood this narrative as the story of the Son of God, who redeemed the fallen human race by his life, death, and resurrection. Contemporary historical scholarship has, however, called into question the reliability of the church's version of the story; can such a story be historically true? After a careful reconsideration of the Enlightenment epistemologies that underlie much historical scholarship, this book argues that it can.

Praise for this book
"This is a very good book, a book to be read by any Christians who want to have an informed opinion about the implications of historical scholarship for their faith."--Books and Culture"An excellent volume combining the philosophical and theological and focusing upon the narratives that undergird the belief that Jesus is the Incarnate God. Will serve as a collateral text for a course on Christology in an excellent fashion."--Charles Gresham, Kentucky Christian College, (Emeritus)"A very ambitious book....it should be seen as a resource for graduate students taking seminars on foundational methods of NT exegesis."--Religious Studies Review"...we applaud the author for raising some provocative issues that bear further exploration."--Journal of the American Academy of Religion"...a compelling piece of scholarship....This book should reveal Evans to be among the brightest and best Christian scholars working today."--Cornerstone Magazine
