This volume, like the first, is the fruit of the John, Jesus and History Group at the Society of Biblical Literature annual meeting, gathering papers presented in that context. That project is still ongoing. I\u2019m particulatly interested in the session planned for the 2010 SBL Annual Meeting in Atlanta<\/a> which will focus on the words<\/i> of Jesus. It is the words placed on the lips Jesus in John\u2019s Gospel that it is the most problematic to treat as historically authentic, and it is this factor that often leads to various other potentially useful kinds of material in the Gospel being ignored.<\/p>\n

You can read snippets of volume 1 on Google Books (and now here):<\/p>\n
