    Analysis or apologetics?
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2005*

I am a layman with an interest in the historical Jesus and I bought this book based on reviews here.  The forward states explicitly that "each topic [is] self-contained" and "it is possible to skip sections," so after reading Ch. 1 I went to Ch. 15, "The Risen Jesus"  where I was quite disappointed.  1 Cor 15:3ff must play a significant role in any discussion, but Theissen woodenly declares, with emphasis, that its status "as tradition is undisputed" and "Its pre-Pauline origin is certain" (pp 487-8).  To the contrary: in a 1995 "J. of Higher Criticism" article, "Apocryphal Apparitions: 1 Corinthians 15:3-11 as a Post-Pauline Interpolation," Robert Price explicitly addressed this question (also found as Ch 4 of "The Empty Tomb" by Price and Lowder as well as elsewhere).  In addition to his own arguments, Price shows that the discordant nature of 3-11 has been noted even by those not arguing for a post-Pauline origin (including by Bultmann, Evans, Conzelmann, and Schillebeeckx).  My point is not that Price is correct.  It is, rather, that in at least one critical chapter in this book apologetics is being passed off as historical analysis.

    Classic textbook, but with some strong biases
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013*

Read this textbook with a critical eye, especially re. supercessionist tendencies. It does a great job of presenting much of the context of the search for historical Jesus, and probably remains the most comprehensive textbook for approaching this field. Of course it was written before some aspects of this field of scholarship were underway, but pay attention to the lens through which the writers looked at the subject.
