Query: Tepid and querulous

Witherington's book disappoints because it tantalizes the reader intoexpecting a transcending view of the historical-Jesus controversy,but in fact it is merely another partisan effort. You will like it if youalready accept that the Gospels are blandly historical; or, asWitherington hopefully avers in the foreword, if you already believethat Christ is reigning in glory and only waiting for you to notice. Butfor that matter, sermons are much cheaper than hardcover books,and are available in churches all across the land every Sunday.
