Jesus of Nazareth by Maurice Casey

Things are happening quickly with Maurice Casey's major new life of Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth. The book is a 600 page comprehensive assessment of the quests for the historical Jesus and what we can say about Jesus, which is valuably informed by Maurice's unrivalled knowledge of Aramaic. The other exciting thing is that Maurice takes the American Jesus Seminar to task a bit in this book. We are already at first proof stage so we should certainly have a big a stack of the book at SBL in Atlanta. I will hope to have a bound proof at the summer conferences.

Here's the first cover visual to whet your appetites.

Any further word on the publication date of this book? Amazon says Dec. 30, but it sounds like it might be earlier???

Dear Don,

The official pub date is 30th September in the UK, and 30th December in the States (to allow time for shipping from the UK to the US).

But we will have advance copies for sale at the booth at SBL.

Thanks,

Dominic
