In recent years, a number of New Testament scholars engaged in
academic historical Jesus studies have concluded that such
scholarship cannot yield secure and illuminating conclusions about
its subject, arguing that the search for a historically "authentic"
Jesus has run aground. Jesus, Skepticism, and the Problem of
History brings together a stellar lineup of New Testament scholars
who contend that historical Jesus scholarship is far from dead.
These scholars all find value in using the tools of contemporary
historical methods in the study of Jesus and Christian origins.
While the skeptical use of criteria to fashion a Jesus contrary to
the one portrayed in the Gospels is methodologically unsound and
theologically unacceptable, these criteria, properly formulated and
applied, yield positive results that support the Gospel accounts
and the historical narrative in Acts. This book presents a nuanced
and vitally needed alternative to the skeptical extremes of
revisionist Jesus scholarship that, on the one hand, uses
historical methods to call into question the Jesus of the Gospels
and, on the other, denies the possibility of using historical
methods to learn about Jesus.
