Remembering Jesus With James Dunn: Part 1

I came across this, the first in a series of three lectures, entitled. “Remembering Jesus”, given by James Dunn, as part of the 2003 Hayward lecture Series. In this lecture, he begins to critique some of, what he believes to be, the methodological problems inherent within the mainstream of the so-called quest for the historical Jesus. The two primary points that he wishes to make, in this first talk, relate to the distinction that is made between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith, and, the term historical Jesus itself. I found the lecture stimulating, and his points solid. In my opinion it is definitely worth taking the time to watch it.
