Michael Vicko Zolondek earned his BA and MA in Religious Studies from Florida International University before going on to earn his PhD in New Testament Language, Literature, and Theology from the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on the historical Jesus, and he teaches Religious Studies at Florida International University in Miami, Florida. He is the author of We Have Found the Messiah (2016).
"""In this remarkably clear and accessible volume, Michael Zolondek offers an innovative approach to reconstructing the historical Jesus. If the Gospels are indeed bioi, why not draw on the methodological practices of other ancient biographers? The result is a fresh and inviting challenge to read the gospels in their ancient context."" --Helen K. Bond, professor of Christian origins, New College, University of Edinburgh"
