Dale C. Allison Jr. is the Richard J. Dearborn Professor of New Testament Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary. His numerous books include Night Comes: Death, Imagination, and the Last Things and The Luminous Dusk: Finding God in the Deep, Still Places.
Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Princeton Theological Seminary
"With his singular combination of learning, wit, honesty, and
humility, Dale Allison here reflects on the theological limitations
and implications of the study of the historian's Jesus. Students at
every level will find themselves instructed and even provoked by
Allison's comments, but they will also come away agreeing that 'the
unexamined Christ is not worth having.' "" Scot McKnight, North
Park University
"In the last 125 years there have been five truly epochal thinkers
who altered the course of Jesus research: Martin Kähler, Albert
Schweitzer, Rudolf Bultmann, Ernst Käsemann -- and the fifth one is
Dale Allison." Christian Century
"The very title of Allison's brief but engaging book signals that
just as believers cannot be completely indifferent to the
historical study of the Gospels without closing their faith to new
challenges and insights, so historians, even if they are
unbelievers, cannot escape the deeply theological nature of the
life and teachings of Jesus. Allison is both refreshingly robust in
his appraisals of the work of colleagues and disarmingly honest in
his self-criticisms."
