Summary:There is a sharp interest in the historical Jesus in recent decades among (mainly) North American New Testament scholars. Many of them claim that a veritable ‘renaissance’ or ‘third quest’ is underway in Jesus studies that shifts beyond the boundaries of both the ‘old’ and ‘new’ quests of former years.
