The current controversy over the historical Jesus and his
significance for both scholarship and religious belief continues to
rage inside and outside the academy. In this volume, three
distinguished New Testament scholars debate the historical,
textual, and theological problems at the core of the controversy.
John Dominic Crossan offers a theological defense of the historical
reconstruction of Jesus, arguing that if Christian faith is not
founded on the historical Jesus, it will fall into Docetism. Luke
Timothy Johnson counters this thesis, arguing that the biblical
Christ and his presence in the life of believers is the proper
focus of Christian faith. Werner Kelber takes issue with both
views. Placing them in the broader context and history of Christian
hermeneutics, he seeks to overcome the alternatives that govern the
controversy. John Dominic Crossan is Professor Emeritus of
Religious Studies at De Paul University. Luke Timothy Johnson is
Robert W. Woodruff Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins
at Emory University. Werner H. Kelber is Turner Professor of
Biblical Studies at Rice University.
