Podcast: The Next Quest for the Historical Jesus

Host Mike Bird uses an article by James Crossley as a jumping off point to discuss the aspects of the historical Jesus that are most likely to be exhumed and researched in the next few years. The topic merges philosophy, academia, and culture. Enjoy! Nazareth to Nicaea: This episode features an interview with Prof. James Crossley where we discuss what a new quest for the historical Jesus should look like. We talk about the failings of previous questions, the demise of the “criteria of authenticity,” and the various things that new questers should be conscious of as they attempt to excavate Jesus as a figure of history.
