"What historical realities lie behind the birth of Jesus and the description of the Holy Family by the evangelists? In this book, controversial New Testament scholar Gerd Lüdemann investigates all of the references to Jesus' birth and the Holy Family in the writings of the earliest church and rival Jewish sources. He discusses what the New Testament Christmas stories set out to say, reconstructs the traditions used in them, and answers t ..."
What Jesus Didn't Say by GerdLüdemann Paperback, 154 Pages, Published 2011 by Polebridge Press ISBN-13: 978-1-59815-030-8, ISBN: 1-59815-030-8
"Biblical historians have long held that the New Testament abounds in sayings incorrectly attributed to Jesus. In order to assemble as complete a collection of authentic sayings as possible, they have, for the most part, been intent on seeing how the sayings deemed authentic are connected to one another, and attempting to picture their specific contexts. In What Jesus Didn t Say, Gerd Lüdemann flips the coin and focuses on the inauthenti ..."
Eyes That See Not The Pope Looks at Jesus by GerdLüdemann, Tom Hall Paperback, 144 Pages, Published 2008 by Polebridge Press ISBN-13: 978-1-59815-006-3, ISBN: 1-59815-006-5
""The Pope asked for this," says Arthur J. Dewey of Xavier University. "Taking up the papal invitation (of Pope Benedict XVI) to respond critically to his book Jesus of Nazareth, Gerd Lüdemann offers a meticulous and devastating critique." The historian is obliged to present objective evidence for his or her assertions. The rules of the game do not permit one to rely on uncorroborated testimony or claims of authority. The chronicler who ..."

"Ropes also made progress in distinguishing between authentic and inauthentic
sayings of Jesus. The extra—canonical sayings of Jesus became popular as a
result of J. Jeremias, Unknown Sayings ofJesus, which was first published in
German 1948 and subsequently appeared in a whole series of new editions and
translations. However, this work, too, reduced the number of extra—canonical
traditions under investigation by taking into account ..."

Gerd Lüdemann ..."
"Was the resurrection of Jesus a fact of history or a figment of hallucination? Was it an event that entailed a raised and transformed body and an empty tomb? Or was it a subjective, visionary experience-a collective delusion? In the view of many, the truth of Christianity hangs on the answer to this question. Jesus' Resurrection: Fact or Figment? is a lively and provocative debate between Christian philosopher and apologist William ..."
