Description
Summary:Churches are inclined to neglect Jesus' kingdom preaching in relation to the role and task of the church. The relation between Jesus and his church can be directly linked to the relation between the earthly Jesus and the Christ of faith. In this article I will focus on the question as to what kind of Jesus gave rise to the church, discussing four different attempts to explain the historical Jesus: a Jewish peasant, a cynic philosopher, a healer, or a rabbi. Questions as to whether there was something special about Jesus and the significance of the historical evidence about him are raised.
