Abstract

The great German theologian Albert Schweitzer famously drew a line under 19th century historical Jesus research by showing that at the bottom of the well lay not the face of Joseph's son, but rather the features of all the New Testament scholars who had tried to reveal his elusive essence. In his thoughtful and provocative new book, Halvor Moxnes takes Schweitzer's observation much further: the doomed 'quest for the historical Jesus' was determined not only by the different personalities of the seekers who undertook it, but also by the social, cultural and political agendas of the countries from which their presentations emerged. Thus, Friedrich Schleiermacher's Jesus was a teacher, corresponding with the role German teachers played in Germany's movement for democratic socialism. Ernst Renan's Jesus was by contrast an attempt to represent the 'positive Orient' as a precursor to the civilized self of his own French society. Scottish theologian G.A. Smith demonstrated in his manly portrayal of Jesus a distinctively British liberalism and Victorian moralism. Moxnes argues that one cannot understand any 'life of Jesus' apart from nationalism and national identity: and that what is needed in modern biblical studies is an awareness of all the presuppositions that underlie presentations of Jesus, whether in terms of power, gender, sex and class. Only then, he says, can we start to look at Jesus in a way that does him justice.

Abstract

In this volume, Ulrich Luz presents 32 exegetical studies, nearly all of which were written between 1985 and 2015. Five of these are published for the first time while five others make their German language debut. The majority of the studies are reproduced in German with others in English. The author deals among other things with the Sayings-Source Q, the gospels of Mark and John as well as the Corpus Paulinum. Each chapter is prefaced by an annotative, evaluating introduction. In the chapter on Matthew – the most important focus of his work – Ulrich Luz pursues the fundamental hermeneutic question of how we are to read Matthew’s Jesus story from the inside; that is, as participants. What understanding of “truth” does Matthew presuppose?
