Should the dissimilarity between Jesus and early Christianity or
between Jesus and Judaism be the central criteria for the
historical Jesus? Gerd Theissen and Dagmar Winter argue that the
criterion of dissimilarity does not do justice to the single most
important result of more than two-hundred years of Jesus research:
that the historical Jesus belongs to both Judaism and Christianity.
The two authors propose a criterion of historical plausibility so
that historical phenomenon under question can be considered
authentic so long as it can be plausibly understood in its Jewish
context and also facilitates a plausible explanation for its later
effects in Christian history. This book is a cooperative project
between Dagmar Winter and Gerd Theissen and represents the fruit of
many years of their research on the historical Jesus.
