Who is Jesus?: Linking the Historical Jesus with the Christ of Faith (2012) is a book by Darrell L. Bock.

Abstract

"Is Jesus who he said he was? Some say he was just a man; others claim he was the Son of God. Historian Darrell Boc tests the authenticity of Jesus' claims against the rules of history to find out if he truly is the Christ of Faith. This reader-friendly book examines twelve events, sayings, and teachings of Jesus, using ten well-accepted historical rules. Pull up a chair, engage in the conversation, and discover how fascinating the discussion of the historical Jesus can be."--Publisher description.
