Christianity Today Book Award winner The scholarly quest for the
historical Jesus has a distinguished pedigree in modern Western
religious and historical scholarship, with names such as Strauss,
Schweitzer and Bultmann highlighting the story. Since the early
1990s, when the Jesus quest was reawakened for a third run,
numerous significant books have emerged. And the public's attention
has been regularly arrested by media coverage, with the Jesus
Seminar or the James ossuary headlining the marquee. This Spectrum
Multiview volume provides a venue for readers to sit in on a
virtual seminar on the historical Jesus. Beginning with a
scene-setting historical introduction by the editors, prominent
figures in the Jesus quest set forth their views and respond to
their fellow scholars. On the one end Robert M. Price lucidly
maintains that the probability of Jesus' existence has reached the
"vanishing point," and on the other Darrell Bock ably argues that
while critical method yields only a "gist" of Jesus, it takes us in
the direction of the Gospel portraits. In between there are
numerous avenues to explore, questions to be asked and "assured
results" to be weighed. And John Dominic Crossan, Luke Timothy
Johnson and James D. G. Dunn probe these issues with formidable
knowledge and honed insight, filling out a further range of
options. The Historical Jesus: Five Views offers a unique entry
into the Jesus quest. For both the classroom and personal study,
this is a book that fascinates, probes and engages. Spectrum
Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics
within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present
their position and also respond to others in this dynamic
publishing format.
