In this compelling study, renowned author James D. G. Dunn provides a critique of the quest for the historical Jesus. Dunn claims that the quest has been misguided from the start in its attempt to separate the historical Jesus from the Christ of faith. Dunn argues that Jesus scholars have consistently failed to recognize how the early disciples' pre-Easter faith and a predominantly oral culture shaped the way the stories about Jesus were told and passed on. Dunn also examines the implications of oral transmission for our understanding of Synoptic relationships. A New Perspective on Jesus proposes a change in direction for Jesus scholarship. It will be of interest to pastors, church leaders, students, and thoughtful laypersons wanting a fresh perspective on Jesus studies. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The greatest flaw in Dunn's work is his overwhelming use of the Q document to prove his thesis. There is no issue in providing his opinions on source hypotheses, but an argument that concerns itself with how the authenticity of sources are determined should make a point of using the documents as we have them or providing more substantial information outside of hypothetical sources. It seems unnecessary to use Q and even endangers his position, should Q become irrelevant or eventually disproven
Ultimately, A New Perspective on Jesus is a not only a good primer for those looking to learn more about Scriptural authenticity, but it poses serious criticisms to methodologies and data that have long been taken for granted. Rather than simply calling these points into question to continue to engage an old argument, Dunn provides a clear and thoughtful solution that offers a new perspective, putting new wine into new wineskins.
