The Historical Jesus in the Twentieth Century
Written in a clear and engaging style, Weaver's story chronicles not only the progress of Jesus research but also the cultural drifts and sociological phenomena that relate to the varying pictures of Jesus that scholarship has produced.
The Historical Jesus in the Twentieth Century
"In the present volume, Walter P. Weaver tells the fascinating story of Jesus research during the first half of the twentieth century. Written in a clear and engaging style, Weaver's story chronicles not only the progress of Jesus research but also the cultural drifts and sociological phenomena that relate to the varying pictures of Jesus that scholarship has produced. The story begins at the turn of the century with Albert Schweitzer and the publication of The Quest of the Historical Jesus. Making its way through two world wars, during which Jesus scholarship was mesmerized by national peril and driven to a period of pause, the story ends with the remarkable discovery in the 1940s of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi documents-- discoveries that would stir the world of biblical scholarship for years to come. Throughout this period, Weaver points out, a struggle went on for the Jewish soul of Jesus. The period was also characterized by many attempts to popularize the results of Jesus research and to present Jesus as a public icon"--
Earthing Christologies
How far can we go in recovering the historical life of the man Jesus, considering the limited nature of our resources within the biblical canon? Have we extracanonical sources of information to assist us? Since Jesus' ministry and message was God-directed through and through, must not the "Jesus researcher" who would do this subject justice be a theologian, open to the suprahistorical dimension, to the transcendent? What is the connection between the Jesus of history and the Christ of the church's faith and preaching? Four prominent scholars - Leander E. Keck, Hugh Anderson, Walter P. Weaver, and James H. Charlesworth - address these and other christological issues in this book.
Jesus Research
This volume explores nearly every facet of Jesus research -- from eyewitness criteria to the reliability of memory, from archaeology to psychobiography, from oral traditions to literary sources, and from narrative criticism to Gospel criticism. Bringing together a wide variety of topics and perspectives in one volume, this ambitious collaborative enterprise casts light on important debates and encourages creative links between ideas new and old. This distinguished collection of articles by internationally renowned Jewish and Christian scholars originates with the Princeton-Prague Symposium on Jesus Research. It summarizes the significant advances in understanding Jesus that scholars have made in recent years, chiefly through the development of diverse methodologies. Even readers who are already knowledgeable in the field will discover unique angles from well-known New Testament scholars, and all will be brought up to speed on the current state-of-play within Jesus studies.
Jesus and His Biographers
Jesus began in obscurity, preached for about three years, and was crucified by the Romans. Yet the Jesus story could not be suppressed. It lived on, modulated by the experiences of some of his followers after his death. Throughout the subsequent two millennia, Jesus has never lacked for biographers, and biographers have never lacked something to say. Each of these 'biographers' of Jesus had his or her own special way of characterising the Jesus story. From the earliest times, a high degree of reinterpretation of that story is evident. Some have concluded that we can't know much at all, others that Jesus was apocalyptic messianic figure, and others that Jesus was a sort of cynic-sage. Some so...
The Old and New Testaments
The question of the relationship between the testaments is not new, but changing circumstances have forced its reconsideration. Here prominent scholars address issues such as the need for the continued use of the Old Testament by the Christian community and the similarities between Jews and Christians. Contributions from John J. Carey, Frank Johnson, Bernard Anderson, and the editors.
Familiar Stranger
