I couldn't remember any specifics though and googling it wasn't too helpful. I think you are referring to this book by Holzapfel and WaymentĪ friend and I were discussing Jesus the Christ today and I mentioned that I had read that some of the scholarship was outdated and not accepted anymore. I have some memory of an LDS anthology of several contemporary scholars commenting on the book, but at the moment, I don't recall whether it has been published or not.Īt this point, I'd be more inclined to recommend this one: ![]() McConkie intended his Messiah books to be a successor, but they suffer from a tendency to use 20 words when one would do. It's fine to read as a primer, to get started with an important text for LDS thought, an important text in the history of LDS thought, but a lot can and did happen in scholarship in a hundred years. I recall some references to Book of Mormon geography that are also way out of date, a bit cringe worthy from my perspective. There is a good Sunstone article on the dependence on the Victorian Lives of Jesus. ![]() I've read it three or four times, most recently six or seven years ago. It was based on several "Victorian Lives of Jesus" and written, of course, long before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi texts, which provide a much more contemporary contextualization for early Christianity. ![]()
