The question of the historical Jesus is not only a historical
question but also a historic one. And historic questions can be the
most scandalous, says Joe Bessler, because they challenge the
assumptions governing societies. Like Galileo questioning the
Ptolemaic universe, historic questions transgress the limits of
authority, belonging, and institutional legitimacy. Each of the
three quests of the historical Jesus-from the original quest in the
early 20th century, through the new quest, to the renewed quest in
the late 20th century-has opened up new questions. In A Scandalous
Jesus, Bessler seeks to capture the historic questions that
surround and shape research on the historical Jesus and assess the
impact of the differing quests on theological and cultural life.
