Abstract:
Focusing on Jesus, this first volume of Christianity in the making has several distinct features. It garners the lessons to be learned from the "quest for the historical Jesus" and meets the hermeneutical challenges to a historical and theological assessment of the Jesus tradition. It provides a fresh perspective both on the impact made by Jesus and on the traditions about Jesus as oral tradition, hence the title "Jesus Remembered." And it offers a fresh analysis of the details of that tradition, emphasizing its characteristic (rather than dissimilar) features. Noteworthy too are Dunn's treatments of the source question (particularly Q and the noncanonical Gospels) and of Jesus the Jew in his Galilean context.

In Jesus Remembered James Dunn provides an extensive introduction to the historical study of Jesus including methods, sources, historical background and a survey of the first, second and third quests for Jesus. Dunn proposes a whole new methodology for studying Jesus as a person of history. He relies on studies and observations with indicate that as oral tradition is passed down, the details of the story may change but the core elements remain remarkably constant. Using these insights, Dunn critically examines stories about Jesus attested in multiple sources to separate the core from the rest. He builds his reconstruction of the historical Jesus on this core. Dunn is convinced that these core elements we can recover the remembrances of Jesus’ earliest followers. The book includes extensive footnotes, indices and a bibliography. Jesus Remembered is the first of a three volume series which may well become a classic in the field of historical Jesus studies.
