This volume presents a collection of papers by scholars from Europe
and the USA on a question which is currently again the subject of
intensive discussion - the figure of the historical Jesus. One main
problem is that of methodology - how in general can history be
constructed from texts, how is it possible in this particular case
to draw a picture of Jesus the person from the texts about him?
This question is placed within the wider context of epistemological
and historiographical enquiry. A further major question is that of
the relationship between Jesus' work and the development of the
Christian faith. Whereas earlier scholars often saw a gap between
the two, many of the present contributors put forward a different
point of view. In addition, a number of questions of detail are
treated which are important for research into the historical Jesus
(the law, Jesus' concept of death, judgement and salvation).
