' Modern portraits of the historical Jesus abound. But here James Dunn provides a tour of ancient sketches - a gallery of impressions that this provocative figure left upon his earliest followers. It is no hall of mirrors, no academic trickery that flatters us with wishful thinking of self-projection. The images Dunn reveals are surprising, challenging, and even contradictory, and they are the more convincing on that account. The adventure itself is thrilling and the outcome significant ... Jesus Remembered is indeed an indispensable contribution to an ongoing quest to comprehend the significance of Jesus for the history of Christiianity and for modern civilization.'
