Gerd Theissen and Dagmar Winter argue that the criterion of dissimilarity does not do justice to the single most important result of more than two-hundred years of Jesus research: that the historical Jesus belongs to both Judaism and Christianity. The two authors propose a criterion of historical plausibility so that historical phenomenon under question can be considered authentic so long as it can be plausibly understood in its Jewish context and also facilitates a plausible explanation for its later effects in Christian history. This book is a cooperative project between Dagmar Winter and Gerd Theissen and represents the fruit of many years of their research on the historical Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerd Theissen, Dagmar Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0664225373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664225377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.00w x 1.07d","brand":"Gerd Theissen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44212980875519,"sku":"9780664225377","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_987fbb19-bc1f-41ea-80e3-c96284113572.jpg?v=1692111376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quest-for-the-plausible-gerd-theissen-9780664225377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
