| Summary: | The historical Jesus confronts us with the basic issue of the reality of God. If the reality of God is compromised Jesus becomes a mere model to be followed. The latest search for the historical Jesus and the question of who God is, can lead to various extreme solutions to these basic questions. After a brief survey of the development and shortcomings of rationalism this article attempts to offer an answer which will not lead to some foundationalist escape into dogmatic security, but suggests an option which allows for the dimension of mystery and imagination in our understanding of Jesus and God. |
