In the past forty years, while historical-critical studies were
seeking with renewed intensity to reconstruct events behind the
biblical texts, not least the life of Jesus, two branches of
literary studies were finally reaching maturity. First, researchers
were recognizing that many biblical texts are rewritings or
transformations of older texts that still exist, thus giving a
clearer sense of where the biblical texts came from; and second,
studies in the ancient art of composition clarified the biblical
texts' unity and purpose, that is to say, where biblical texts were
headed. The work of tracing literary indebtedness and art is far
from finished but it is already possible and necessary to draw a
conclusion: it is that, bluntly, Jesus did not exist as a
historical individual. This is not as negative as may at first
appear. In a deeply personal coda, Brodie begins to develop a new
vision of Jesus as an icon of God's presence in the world and in
human history.
