The title sounds pretty suspicious. But actually it's a stack of writers, many in Logos already (eg Craig Evens). And Amy-Jill already has a bunch in Logos too.

Check out the TOC … essentially it touches base on many of the issues in the NT, as they might appear at the time.

I'm currently on Elaine Pagels' recent book: https://www.amazon.com/Miracles-Wonder-Historical-Mystery-Jesus-ebook/dp/B0D8K9KS83 for which Amy-Jill's volume is handy. Elaine is looking at what historically attracts to Jesus.
