"What Is Truth?" : Scholarship, Controversy, and the Historical Jesus

A lit. teacher and amateur history buff presents 36 books focusing on "the Quest for the Historical Jesus" movement that has exploded onto the public consciousness since the 1980s. The list covers traditional interpretations, historical surveys, serious scholarship, and the lunatic fringe, in that order.

Sanders / Paula Fredriksen model of interpretation.
