According to Gregory A. Boyd, the growing popularity of the Jesus Seminar should be of significant concern for all who hold to the historic Christian faith. Boyd thoroughly rebuts the revisionist views of the historical Jesus held by John Dominic Crossan, Burton L. Mack, and others. His serious critique of the Cynic thesis, is accessible to laypeople and of interest to thoughtful observers. As the “quest for the historical Jesus” begins anew, Boyd’s Cynic Sage or Son of God? provides an orthodox defense of the biblical Jesus.
