This is the bibliography (kinda sorta, not really) from my recently completed book The Unvarnished Jesus. Posting it here because I know blog surfers always love a good list.
This is neither a bibliography nor a works cited. The list of resources that have influenced this work directly and indirectly over the years would be too long to be of much help. Also, I figure the last thing anyone who trudged through this book would want to find at the end is the author showing off his nerditude with a vast array of books he’s read.
On the other hand, I do think it might be helpful to provide a short list of works related to the message and themes of this one, a starter reading list for those wanting to explore Jesus studies further. With the exception of the work by Blomberg, I have excluded commentaries and heavy theological doorstops (for the aforementioned nerditude concern). These are the books I personally have found the most profitable, and I recommend them to you with unreserved enthusiasm.
