Note that, since Van Voorst's book is about sources "outside" the New Testament, he will not discuss the canonical gospels as we have them.

The references to Jesus outside the NT are a specialty interest of mine, and I found some good material in this book that I have added to my article on it.
I think he undervalues the references by Tacitus and Lucian on quite inadequate grounds, and misses a lot of data that could have helped his case.
The material on the Gospel of Thomas, Secret Gospel of Mark, and alleged pre-sources (Q, L, Signs source, etc.) rest so much on speculative source material that they are practically useless.
