Assessing Progress in the Third Quest of the Historical Jesus

Craig A. Evans

Acadia Divinity College Wolfville, NS, Canada

Although historical-Jesus research in the last three decades has produced a great deal of divergent results, one is able to discern several important areas of progress. Perhaps the most important gain is in a renewed appreciation of the Judaic character of Jesus, his mission, and his world. New source material and more nuanced, contextual methodology have sharpened Jesus' profile as a Galilean Jew, standing in the tradition of Israel's redemption and restoration.

Key Words: Cynics • Galilee • Jesus and archaeology • Jesus and Judaism • New Quest • Old Quest • Third Quest
