 The
World of Jesus and the Early Church,
Edited by Craig A. Evans
Coming Fall 2011
Prominent scholars in the fields of Archaeology, New
Testament Studies, and the Dead Sea Scrolls have come
together in The World of Jesus and the Early Church to focus
on early Jewish and Christian communities of faith and their
impact on the collections of texts that were their
scriptures (and would become, in due time, part of their
various canons).
Professors, students, and pastors who are interested in how
these communities lived—how they developed, what they
believed, and how they regarded and preserved the written
documents that were their scripture—will be interested in
this comprehensive volume drawn from presentations made to
key conferences on the subject. This book’s emphasis on a
variety of communities of faith (not just Christian) and
their early (and critical) influence on the development of
religious canonical materials sets it apart from others on
New Testament-period culture.

The Holman QuickSource™ Guide to the
Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) gives the reader a strong overview
and understanding of the DSS and their importance for
Christianity. Topics covered include a riveting narrative on
the discovery of the Scrolls, notes on the Dead Sea region,
the contents and dates of the Scrolls, who wrote and
gathered them, first and second generation scholars of the
Scrolls and more. Frequently Evans takes readers from
biblical texts to particularly illuminating Scrolls to
discuss if and how the Scrolls help us interpret the New
Testament. Visually-driven yet content-rich, this book is

to read: clear, informed and conversational. It will invite
the reader into the world of the Scrolls, hold t heir
attention and leave t hem wanting for more. (B&H Books,

 Jesus,
the Final Days: What Really Happened

T. Wright address these important topics (in the UK: SPCK;

Fabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the Gospels

Jesus, James Tabor's The Jesus Dynasty, Michael Baigent's
The Jesus Papers, and The Gospel of Judas, for which he served as an advisory board member to the National Geographic Society, Evans offers a sane approach to examining the sources for understanding the historical Jesus.

 Jesus
and the Ossuaries
The ossuary bearing the inscription "Jacob, son of Joseph, brother of
Jesus," has generated a great deal of controversy since its
announcement in 2002. In Jesus and the Ossuaries,
Professor Evans takes no position with respect to the authenticity of
this interesting inscription. Rather, he investigates Jewish burial
practices and what they tell us about the world of Jesus, his teaching,
and his own death, burial, and resurrection. What did Jesus mean when
he told a would-be follower to "Let the dead bury their own dead"? Or,
what was the significance of telling Jesus that Lazarus, his friend,
had been dead for four days? Even more important, was Jesus himself
taken down from the cross and given proper burial, or was his body left
exposed to birds and animals, as a few scholars have recently
suggested? These and other interesting questions are addressed in this
book. (Waco, TX: Baylor University Press, 2003)
