The Historical Jesus in Recent Research by James D G Dunn

The past two or three decades have witnessed significant activity in research on the Jesus of the Gospels and history. In fact, there has been such a plethora of publication on such a wide variety of facets of this issue that it is difficult to keep pace with the rate of publication. In this volume, Dunn and McKnight have collected and provided introductions to a wide cross-section of essays on the topic, ranging from classic essays by the likes of Bultmann, Cadbury, and Schweitzer to the most recent investigations of Horsley, Levine, and Wright. This volume will be a very useful book for courses and seminars on Jesus or the historical Jesus, because it draws together in one place a wide variety of perspectives and approaches to the issues. Authors represented include: P. S. Alexander, D. C. Allison, P. W. Barnett, M. J. Borg, R. Bultmann, H. J. Cadbury, P. M. Casey, G. B. Caird, B. Chilton, C. E. B. Cranfield, J. D. G. Dunn, R. A.

"The hard work, insight, and creativity of the two editors of this important volume on the historical Jesus must be applauded right here at the startJames Dunn and Scott McKnight are two seasoned New Testament scholars who are well versed in the debate on the so-called historical Jesus. In this tour de force they worked through an endless volume of literature on this subject, from the start of the debate in the late 1700s until the present, to produce an introduction to the "quest of the historical Jesus" as well as to get to the heart of what this "quest" is all about." -- Stephan Joubert, Pretoria, South Africa in Review of Biblical Literature, July 2006.
