Links and Resources for studying
the New Testament Gospels
and the historical Jesus

 
Albert Schweitzer mused that those who write a life of Jesus inevitably reveal more about themselves than about Jesus. Nevertheless, Schweitzer offered his own portrait of the historical Jesus. Few others have heeded Schweitzer's warning. From the Jesus Seminar to its most vocal detractors, many still present their versions of the real Jesus. Links on this page will get you into the thick of the conversation on the nature of the gospels and the person of Jesus.

These links to the Web serve only as an initial entry to the cyber-conversation on Jesus and the gospels. Searching for "the historical Jesus" or the Jesus Seminar on one of the typical web search engines leads to literally thousands of sites.
