Lec 13 - The Historical Jesus

"Lec 13 - The Historical Jesus" Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152) It is obvious that certain narratives in the New Testament contradict each other and cannot be woven into a historically coherent whole. How, then, do scholars construct who the "historical Jesus" was? There are several principles that historical Jesus researchers follow, which include considering data that 1) has multiple attestations and 2) is dissimilar to a text's theological tendencies as more likely to be historical. Using the modern methods of historical research, it becomes possible to construct a "historical Jesus." 00:00 - Chapter 1. Contradictory Accounts in the New Testament 13:25 - Chapter 2.
