From the back cover:
Jesus

• Who was the Jesus of history as distinct from the Christ of dogma?
• How did Jesus' disciples change between the crucifixion and the resurrection?
• What was the original Easter experience?
• Why and how were stories of the empty tomb and of the "appearances" promulgated?

Written by the distinguished Flemish Catholic theologian Edward Schillebeeckx -- who made world headlines when, as a result of this book, he was summoned to the Vatican and interrogated for allegedly denying the divinity of Christ -- this comprehensive work of scriptural scholarship brilliantly reveals how faith in Jesus actually developed from the primitive period of Palestinian Christianity to the time when the New Testament was compiled.

"The best and most complete examination of the biblical evidence for the meaning of Jesus ever published."
-- Thomas Sheehan, The New York Review of Books
