A “historical”.

For those who’ve been party lately to the Evangelical blogosphere’s discussion on the relevance of the study of the historical Jesus, I would just like to submit Michael Bird’s Can the Canonical Jesus be Historical? – 4 Theses as four clear insights into the topic. His main theses:

1. [What the historical Jesus is not]
2. The Historical Jesus is Faith Seeking Historical Understanding
3. The Canonical Jesus is Faith seeking Narratival Understanding
4. Jesus: Historical and Canonical.
