Biblical historians have long held that the New Testament abounds
in sayings incorrectly attributed to Jesus. In order to assemble as
complete a collection of authentic sayings as possible, they have,
for the most part, been intent on seeing how the sayings deemed
authentic are connected to one another, and attempting to picture
their specific contexts. In What Jesus Didn't Say, Gerd Ludemann
flips the coin and focuses on the inauthentic words of Jesus-not
only those thought to be clear inventions, but also sayings that
exhibit noteworthy alterations to their original form and intent.
For his selection, he uses sayings that: are attributed to Jesus
after his crucifixion presuppose a pagan rather than a Jewish
audience involve situations in a post-Easter community reflect the
editorial influence of the author According to Ludemann, the sheer
abundance of inauthentic Jesus-sayings demonstrates that, soon
after his sudden and dramatic death, he became the centre of a new
faith. From the very beginning, Christians imagined what answers
Jesus would offer to the questions that arose among them. When the
words they recalled no longer seemed adequate, they revised or
invented new sayings to suit the existing situation.
