Books By Jeremias and Ehrman

Nathan Parker

Below is a topic for a research paper I will be writing this semester. I need to discover some resources from Jeremias and Ehrman that cover the topic to begin conducting the research for this paper. While I would prefer them to be in Logos format, I may have to step outside of Logos for a few of them.

Does anyone have some recommendations on some resources I can begin consulting from these authors to help me conduct research on this topic? I am also discussing this with my seminary library.

I can't wait to do the research on this, but I just need a little nudge in the right direction on what resources to look for.

Thanks!

I have a topic, its from biblical theology but one of my favorites. "The Historical Argument for the Existence of Jesus as the Unique Son of God in Joachim Jeremias." Jeremias was a brilliant linquistical scholar. There is an argument that defies those who say that Jesus's sayings were invented by the church in that he proves that no one before him every spoke this way, and no one after him ever spoke this way! So Jesus by necessity existed and said these things, and were no invention of the Church. And if you really want to knock it out of the ball park, compare it with people like skeptic Bart Ehrman. I have a section in my book on Jeremias, and you'll be well served to know him well. Include biographical information, which I will be happy to read.

Someone who suggested your topic definitely has a sense of humor.

I suggest you pay a little moola to Ehrman's blog ... he gives it away to a charity. Then you can cut to the chase, before getting serious:

https://www.google.com/search?q=site:ehrmanblog.org%20jeremias   Both entries need blog entry to see the Jeremias/Ehrman discussion.  Ehrman didn't bite.

Ehrman does a historical Jesus book/logic, but his approach is the opposite of Jeremias.  So, you'll likely need to dig into both. 

Edit: Almost forgot ... my favorite, which includes detailed Jeremias discussion (and very interesting):

Thanks for the info! I will check out the two blog posts. I'll also keep digging to find a couple good resources from both Ehrman and Jeremias to research. Your other book sounds fantastic too. I'll give it a look as well.

Thanks a bunch!

Jeremias is a brillant scholar! We owe a large debt to him for his shift in focusing on the person of Jesus in a Jewish setting. A lot of what was done prior to Jeremias and others was to focus on Jesus in a Hellenistic context. From work of Jeremias rose scholars such as Martin Hengel and Ben Myer, both brilliant in their own right.

I would pick up everything you can from Jeremias, starting with his NT Theology (https://www.logos.com/product/47217/scm-joachim-jeremias-collection).

Also, if you have JBL, look at JBL 110.3. There are two articles there, one from E. P. Sanders and the other from Ben Myer discussing Joachim Jeremias. It is a fun read!

Thanks for the info! I've messaged my sales rep about the NT Theology and the collection you mentioned. I also have JBL and can definitely read the articles you mentioned. Will definitely do!
