Setting Jesus Free
Fall 1995
In the view of Robert Funk, Jesus has been bound up in scriptural and creedal chains. The renewed quest for the historical Jesus—as carried forward by the Jesus Seminar—has helped to set Jesus free and to explode prevailing notions of Christianity. Robert Funk discusses the shift in our views of the gospels and Christian origins, the issues raised by the renewed quest, and the possibilities for Christianity recovering its roots.
