Η αναζήτηση για τον ιστορικό Ιησού κατά το 19ο αι. / The historical Jesus quest in the 19th c.

Στην ιστοσελίδα The Bible and Interpretation ο Halvor Moxnes δημοσιεύει ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον άρθρο για το κοινωνικό υπόβαθρο της αναζήτησης για τον ιστορικό Ιησού κατά το 19ο αι. Ο Moxnes εξηγεί πώς αυτή η αναζήτηση συνδέθηκε άμεσα με εθνικιστικές συζητήσεις στην κεντρική Ευρώπη και κυρίως στη Γερμανία και πώς αξιοποιήθηκε στη συνέχεια από το ναζισμό κατά τον 20ο αι.
