The Historical Jesus in Recent Research (2005) is a volume edited by James D.G. Dunn and Scot McKnight.

Abstract

This collection of thirty-five essays offers a survey of the history of research on the Historical Jesus in the 2Oth century, from Albert Schweitzer and Rudolf Bultmann to contemporary interpreters.

"The past two or three decades have witnessed significant activity in research on the Jesus of the Gospels and history. In fact, there has been such a plethora of publication on such a wide variety of facets of this issue that it is difficult to keep pace with the rate of publication. In this volume, Dunn and McKnight have collected and provided introductions to a wide cross-section of essays on the topic, ranging from classic essays by the likes of Bultmann, Cadbury, and Schweitzer to the most recent investigations of Horsley, Levine, and Wright. This volume will be a very useful book for courses and seminars on Jesus or the historical Jesus, because it draws together in one place a wide variety of perspectives and approaches to the issues. This is a must have for research enthusiasts!"--Publisher description.
