The historicity of Jesus is now widely accepted and hardly
questioned by most scholars. But this assumption disarms biblical
texts of much of their power by privileging an historical
interpretation which effectively sweeps aside much theological
speculation and allusion. Furthermore, the assumption of
historicity gathers further assumptions to it, shaping the
interpretation of texts, both denying and adding subtext. Scholars
are now faced with an endless array of works on the historical
Jesus and few question what has been lost through this wide-spread
assumption of historicity. Is This Not the Carpenter? presents a
very valuable corrective: a literary rereading of the New
Testament.
