I have a question for everbody and anybody. The more responses, the better, as there is wisdom in the multitude of counselors.
I am interested in reading something that will solidly and thoroughly interact with and refute Jesus Seminar and other liberal folk as regards the "historical Jesus." I know that N.T. Wright has a number of books in a series entitled "Christian Origins and the Question of God", and that he is on the conservative end of the spectrum on this "controversy". However, I also understand that he isn't exactly "evangelical", as I have heard he does not believe in the inerrancy of Scripture or the Reformed understanding of justification.
Despite these things, would it be beneficial to read his works concerning the historical Jesus? Has anyone read his works in this area? Are there any other more evangelical scholars that I could read instead who are as comprehensive as Wright? I am aware of other evangelical works on the subject, but none which are as encyclopedic as Wright. I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you.
