Consequently, the contemporary quest of the historical Jesus discounted or excluded evidence from the Fourth Gospel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe question of the historical reliability of John's Gospel is well overdue for a thorough reinvestigation and reassessment. In this foundational study, Craig L. Blomberg sheds new light on persistent questions. He presents his conclusionslargely in commentary form, following the principal scenes of the Gospel. His introduction frames the pathway into the discussion, taking up critical issues such as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eauthorship, date and provenance of the Fourth Gospel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esources and omissions of the Fourth Gospel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epoints where John's Gospel interlocks with the Synoptics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egeneral indications of historicity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eliterary genre and unique audience of this Gospel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eburden of proof and criteria of authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his commentary examining the text of the Fourth Gospel, Blomberg asks two essential questions. First, using the recently nuanced criteria of authenticity, \"What positive evidence do we have that the actions or words of the characters in John's narratives are indeed historical?\" Second, \"Is there anything in the text . . . that is implausible within the historical context to which it is attributed, particularly if we assume the general historical trustworthiness of the Synoptics?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a seminal work for the present day-one that affirms the historical reliability of John's Gospel with intelligence and sure-footed care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCraig L.
