Abstract
In English-language scholarship over the past four or five years we have had a fair amount of new thinking on the historic figure Jesus but with few exceptions (of which the best, Sean Freyne's Galilee, Jesus and the Gospels, came from Ireland), the new thinking, whatever its other worth, has had little directly religious or theological bearing. After Bultmann's death in 1976 there were seemingly no theologians on the scene pressing new and persuasive interpretations of Jesus' mission and its meaning for us. Theological interests suddenly ceased to figure in North American historical-Jesus scholarship. Their place was taken by the social sciences and literary theory.
