  • In
  • this
  • broad
  • survey
  • of
  • the
  • efforts
  • to
  • establish,
  • amend,
  • or
  • deny
  • the
  • historical
  • Jesus,
  • Albert
  • Schweitzer
  • presents
  • the
  • history
  • of
  • a
  • debate
  • about
  • what
  • mattered
  • most
  • to
  • millions
  • of
  • people:
  • If
  • God
  • had
  • entered
  • human
  • history,
  • what
  • could
  • history
  • tell
  • about
  • it?
  • Throughout
  • the
  • course
  • of
  • this
  • heated
  • and
  • prolonged
  • dispute,
  • one
  • retelling
  • of
  • the
  • life
  • of
  • Jesus
  • followed
  • another,
  • enjoying
  • --
  • in
  • Schweitzer's
  • phrase
  • --
  • "the
  • immortality
  • of
  • revised
  • editions."
  • Lesser
  • writers
  • might
  • consider
  • differences
  • of
  • opinion
  • as
  • signs
  • of
  • a
  • hopeless
  • enterprise,
  • but
  • Schweitzer
  • instead
  • finds
  • immense
  • value
  • in
  • the
  • differences.
  • Approaches
  • and
  • conclusions
  • may
  • differ,
  • he
  • concludes,
  • but
  • the
  • quest
  • for
  • the
  • historical
  • Jesus
  • has
  • provided
  • ample
  • testimony
  • to
  • the
  • importance
  • of
  • the
  • effort
  • and
  • the
  • rewards
  • of
  • the experience.
