Jesus the Final Days by Craig A EvansJesus, the Final Days: What Really Happened

Was Jesus really raised from the dead? Together, Craig A. Evans and N. T. Wright address these important topics (in the UK: SPCK; in North America: Westminster John Knox Press, 2009).

Fabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the Gospels

Commenting on such recent releases as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting 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. (Downers Grove: Intervarsity Press, 2006)

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)
