Ricerca e ritrovamento del Gesù storico

Alcune considerazioni

Abstract

The paper deals with the current historical research on Jesus. First of ali, it takes into account the passage between the so-ca/led Christ of faith and the Jesus of history. The Easter faith of the first Christian communities doesn't originate exclusively in the encounters with the risen Christ, but gets its roots into Jesus' historical !ife. The written testimony is to understand as a legiti­mate interpretation of the person of Jesus. On such a basis, the insight of the Nazarene's identity grows in consistency, irreducible to the Jewish canons of that time. At the core of Jesus' identity we find his persona! self-conscious­ness, as the bedrockfor the upcoming hermeneutical developments.
