fessor o f an cien t J u d aism an d bib
lical studies. “T his attem pt is cur
rently one o f the m ost heated and
fascinatingreligious topics,’’hesays.
“ Scholars have used increas
ingly com plex criteria to sift out the
m eager reliable historical data, and
their efforts have gone though sev
eral phases includingdisillusionment
w ith the w hole task as virtually
impossible.”
F a lk sa y s d iffe re n t research
m ethods and assum ptions lead to
very different and conflicting pic
tures o f Jesus, often strikingly at
odds w ith traditional C hristian view
o f Jesus.
“M an y popular best-sellers and
•ominie Crossan
tabloid articleshaveappeared, some
claim ing radical new “truths ’ about
Jesus while others are more straight
forw ardly trying to com m unicate
to the general public the latest con
troversial view o f scholars about
Jesus,” Falk explains.
The problem s, he notes, is that
m ost o f the public, including those
fascinated by the subject and d e
vouring all o f the popular books,
have little understanding o f the
nature o f the scholarly task that
produces these new and conflict
ing pictures o f Jesus, The m eth
ods and presuppositions used de
term ine the conclusions reached,
and scholars disagree sharply on
the m ethods and how they are to
be applied.
“ProfessorC rossan will address
the critical question o f m ethod in
his talk, explaining the distinctive
interdisciplinary m ethod and char
acterizes his ow n researching,”
Falk says. “H is talk should be o f
interest and value to those w ith
any interest in w ho Jesus w as,
e v e n i f th e y d is a g r e e w ith
C rossan’s ow n conclusions.
