About this title

Synopsis

Werner examines the question of the Historical Jesus. Rather than inventing stories to recreate events or removing miracles to make the Gospels scientifically 'believable,' Werner picks apart the elements of myth that contribute to the text and looks within the Gospels for evidence of a living man.

About the Author

Ordained a Lutheran pastor in 1956 and 'fellowshipped' a Unitarian minister in the early 60's, Ernest G Werner was active in the ministry for many years, before leaving to pursue scholarship of the Bible. A former Cornell University chaplain and a student at the Harvard Divinity School, Werner was known in Ithaca, NY, as a minister who reached the congregation, as evidenced by ever-increasing attendance at Ithaca's First Unitarian Church.
