Historical-Jesus research continues to captivate the interests of
scholars, and recently, there has been renewed discussion of the
criteria for authenticity. The first half of this volume reviews
the state of play in historical-Jesus research and examines the
criteria in particular. One chapter is devoted to the so-called
'Quests', and a second critically charts the development of the
criteria in the light of form criticism. One of the conclusions of
this part of the volume is that several criteria, especially those
based on linguistics, need re-evaluation. The second half of the
volume proposes three new criteria, based upon use of the Greek
language. These criteria are: Greek language and its context;
textual variance; and discourse features. The criteria are proposed
as a way forward in historical-Jesus research.
