THE JESUS QUEST: THE DANGER FROM WITHIN
Norman L. Geisler, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Apologetics and Theology, Veritas Evangelical Seminary. Dr. Geisler was a key founder of the historic International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (1978) as well as the International Council on Biblical Hermeneutics (1982).
F. David Farnell, PhD, Senior Professor of New Testament, The Master’s Seminary, and Adjunct Professor of New Testament, Veritas Evangelical Seminary. Dr. Farnell was the co-editor of The Jesus Crisis (1998) as well as contributor to other books (e.g. Three Views on Origin of the Synoptic Gospels, 2002). He specializes in the impact of historical-critical philosophical ideologies in New Testament Criticism and Interpretation.
Not since Battle for the Bible (1978) has such a shocking expose’ been given of the dangerous drift away from inerrancy and the integrity of the Gospels.
SUMMARY
This work examines the Historical and philosophical strengths and/or weaknesses of current evangelical approaches espousing some forms of post-modernistic historiography and its resultant search for the “historical Jesus.” It demonstrates the marked undermining impact these efforts have had on the biblical text, especially the Gospels, as well as inerrancy issues. It compares the Jesus Seminar’s approach with current evangelical practices of searching in terms of their evidential apologetic impact on the trustworthiness of the Gospels. A number of well-known, contemporary evangelical scholars are involved in the so-called “Third Quest” for the historical Jesus. This book raises serious questions about such an endeavor.
