Stephen J. Patterson writes New Testament scholarship about the historical Jesus, early Christian communities and non-canonical texts. The Gospel of Thomas and Jesus examines sayings attributed to Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas and their value for reconstructing early traditions, while The God of Jesus considers the religious world and message of the historical Jesus. Beyond the Passion explores how early Christian memory and interpretation developed beyond the crucifixion narratives. Patterson's writing is scholarly but accessible, using textual comparison and historical argument rather than devotional interpretation. His work fits historical Jesus studies, Gospel of Thomas research, New Testament criticism and early Christianity. Read more Less
