on the extreme reason side; looked at the myth-making tendency of the Gospels; product of the Enlightenment; says we don’t know much about the historical Jesus that we can confirm, only that he died, was born in Nazareth, was a Jewish teacher; said Jesus was just a man whose followers decide is the Messiah, and thus they write stories that portray him as such

in the middle of the pietism-reason spectrum; names the first quest for the historical Jesus; says Reimus is right in saying Jesus is Jewish but he is a Jewish escatalogical, apocalyptic prophet and is convinced he is the son of man who is ushering in the kingdom and that he has to go to Jerusalem and die for other people, but says Jesus’s death doesn’t bring the kingdom; says if you use reason, your conclusion has to be that the historical Jesus doesn’t matter to the church because he failed and what matters is the spiritual understanding of Jesus; he brings the quest for the historical Jesus to a halt

Q

says the quest for historical Jesus is impossible - the sources we have (Gospels) are all second-hand info; they are interested in Jesus’s theological significance, not history; if you try to use reason, you exclude faith which is the way to respond to Christian teaching; if Jesus is a teacher, we can grasp what he is kind of teaching, but the Gospels are teaching Jesus, not so much who Jesus is; people need to respond in faith to what the gospels say about Jesus
