Handbook for the Study of the Historical Jesus (4 vols.)

A hundred years after A. Schweitzer’s Von Reimarus zu Wrede, the study of the historical Jesus is experiencing a renaissance. Since the early 1980’s, this renaissance has produced an abundance of Jesus studies that also display a welcome diversity of methods, approaches and hypotheses. The Handbook of the Study of the Historical Jesus is designed to handle this diversity and abundance. Drawing from first-class scholarship throughout the world, this handbook offers a unique assembly of leading experts presenting their approaches to the historical Jesus, as well as a compilation of original studies on a large variety of related topics.
