Gregory W. Dawes (ed.)
The Historical Jesus Quest
A
Foundational Anthology
Scholars and students have long awaited such a
volume, which provides direct access to the classic writers on the
Historical Jesus, allowing them to speak in their own words. This volume
brings together, in English translation, substantial extracts from the
key works in Jesus studies. Includes substantial quotations in English
from Troeltsch, Schweitzer, Wrede, Kähler, Bultmann, Käsemann and
others. The selections are accompanied by brief introductions to each
writer with helpful summaries of the works from which extracts are
taken.
“This anthology offers
first-hand access to a diverse array of scholars whose oft-heated
arguments pioneered the historical Jesus quest. It is must reading for
all serious students of the historical Jesus” Mark Allan Powell
“Required reading for anyone interested in the
historical Jesus” Robert J. Miller,
Religious Studies Review
“Dawes has rendered a considerable service in
making available to Anglophone readers selections of major texts, all
written originally in Latin or German, in the development of historical
Jesus research. For students … this collection will prove immensely
useful” N.H. Taylor, Heythrop Journal
