The Quest for the Historical Jesus

About this sermon

Jesus has naturally been a key person of interest for Western thought, but over the last few hundred years, there have been some major shifts in what scholars describe as the “quest for the historical Jesus.” In today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," we provide an overview of these developments and the problematic attempt to separate the “Jesus of history” from the “Christ of Faith.” A listener asks what I would say about Jesus walking on water.
