The Historical Christ and the Theological Jesus Quotes

“If we are to believe anything, we must get used to disagreeing with lots of other people.”
― Allison Jr., Dale C., The Historical Christ and the Theological Jesus

“Study of the historical Jesus belongs to the diversity and pluralism of modernity, or, if you prefer, postmodernity, and there can be no easy appeal to the consensus on much of anything. The biblical guild is not a group-mind thinking the same thoughts. Nor are the experts a single company producing a single product, "history." As Chesterton says somewhere: "There is no history; there are only historians." The unification of academic opinion would be almost as miraculous as the union of the churches. If you are holding your breath waiting for the consensus of the specialists, you will pass out.”
― Allison Jr., Dale C., The Historical Christ and the Theological Jesus

“Self-perception is only partial perception, and while the passing of time dims memories, it can also unfold significance.”
― Allison Jr., Dale C., The Historical Christ and the Theological Jesus
