Abstract

In this chapter, the author discusses two different methodological areas which seem to be crucial for the transformation of scientific positivist malestream into critical scientific feminist Historical-Jesus research. The author has suggested a social-movements-for-change model as an alternative to Millennialism that allows one to reconstruct the movements gathered in Jesus' name that inspire political-religious change rather than spiritualizing and de-politicizing them. Social-scientific Historical-Jesus study would become more rather than less scientifi c and objective if it would engage critical feminist questions and methodologies. Critical feminist Jesus studies bring to the conversation their insistence on a hermeneutics of suspicion that scrutinizes the ideological frameworks and political functions of research in the discourses of domination as well as their engagement of a hermeneutics of re-construction that places wo/men in the center of attention. Keywords: Critical Feminist; Historical-Jesus; ideological frameworks; scientific positivist malestream
