Jesus remembered

James Dunn's 'Jesus Remembered' (Volume 1 of his trilogy) explores how early Christian communities remembered Jesus and formed the Gospel traditions.

Dunn assesses historical methods and sources to reconstruct the earliest traditions about Jesus.

He pays attention to oral tradition, communal memory, and the development of early Christology.

The book is influential in historical Jesus studies and is accessible to students and scholars.

Dunn provides careful argumentation balancing skepticism and advocacy for historical reconstruction.
