039 - Chapter 19 Part 1 - Thoroughgoing Skepticism and Thoroughgoing Eschatology

In Quest of the Historical Jesus, Albert Schweitzer embarks on an insightful journey through the evolution of Historical Jesus research, beginning with Hermann Reimarus in the mid-18th century and concluding with William Wrede at the dawn of the 20th century. Schweitzer meticulously reveals how the perception of Jesus has shifted over time, influenced by the unique perspectives of various authors. He presents his own interpretation, emphasizing the importance of understanding Jesus life through the lens of his convictions, which he identifies as rooted in late Jewish eschatology. This profound exploration is enhanced by the contributions of proof listeners Tim Ferreira, Goergedave, Betty M., Phil Chenevert, and Guero.
