Description
Summary:[...]one might highlight the profound disagreement (highlighted in Jürgen Becker's essay) over the usefulness of the traditional 'criteria of authenticity'. Another wider development in scholarship which is to a degree reflected in these volumes is the relative conservatism in present New Testament study in general, and on the historical Jesus in particular, at least by comparison with the situation a generation or two ago. [...]this collection, with its 850-page first volume (and other essays beyond) on how to approach the subject, reflects the mood of much historical Jesus research in its excessive concern with method.
