In my own critique I would say that this is an excellent conservative work of scholarship by Craig Blomberg. It is broken down into five comprehenive sections that include:
- Part One: Historical Background for Studying the Gospels
- Part Two: Critical Methods for Studying the Gospel
- Part Three: Introduction to the Four Gospels
- Part Four: A Survey of the Life of Christ
- Part Five: Historical and Theological Syntheses
Rating: 95 out of 100
A sample chapter can be found here:
Part One: Historical Background for Studying the Gospels
"This second edition of Jesus and the Gospels prepares readers for an intensive study of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the events they narrate. Craig Blomberg considers the historical context of the Gospels and sheds light on the confusing interpretations brought forth over the last two centuries. The original 1997 book won a Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, and this updated version, factoring in new scholarship, debate, critical methods, and the ongoing quest of the historical Jesus, ensures the work will remain a top tool for exploring the life of Christ through the first four books of the New Testament"
