The Guide to Jesus provides an outline of current international Jesus research. It presents interpretations of the figure of Jesus in the history of Christianity from its beginnings until the first decades of the twenty-first century. Furthermore, the activity, teaching, and fate of Jesus in its religious, social, and political context are dealt with. Thereby, actual discourses in the hermeneutics of history as well as recent archaeological findings are considered. The last part of the Guide to Jesus is devoted to receptions of Jesus in early Christianity. It therefore provides an overview on the person of Jesus, his activity, and fate as well as receptions of Jesus in the history of Christianity. Because its contributors are all internationally renowned scholars from different countries, the compendium thus provides a representative overview of current Jesus research.
