This Encyclopedia brings together the vast array of historical
research into the reality of the man, the teachings, the acts, and
the events ascribed to him that have served as the foundational
story of one of the world's central religions. This kind of
historiography is not biography. The historical study of the Jesus
stories and the transmission of these stories through time have
been of seminal importance to historians of religion. Critical
historical examination has provided a way for scholars of
Christianity for centuries to analyze the roots of legend and
religion in a way that allows scholars an escape from the confines
of dogma, belief, and theological interpretation. In recent years,
historical Jesus studies have opened up important discussions
concerning anti-Semitism and early Christianity and the political
and ideological filtering of the Jesus story of early Christianity
through the Roman empire and beyond. Entries will cover the
classical studies that initiated the new historiography, the
theoretical discussions about authenticating the historical record,
the examination of sources that have led to the western
understanding of Jesus' teachings and disseminated myth of the
events concerning Jesus' birth and death. Subject areas include:
the history of the historical study of the New Testament: major
contributors and their works theoretical issues and concepts
methodologies and criteria historical genres and rhetorical styles
in the story of Jesus historical and rhetorical context of
martyrdom and messianism historical teachings of Jesus teachings
within historical context of ethics titles of Jesus historical
events in the life of Jesus historical figures in the life of Jesus
historical use of Biblical figures referenced in the Gospels places
and regions institutions the history of the New Testament within
the culture, politics, and law of the Roman Empire.
