Explores gospel origins by comparing Greco-Roman hero cult traditions with ancient Judaism, examining how the death and vindication of revered heroes parallels Christian gospels. Analyzes popular biographies like Life of Aesop alongside gospels, reaching striking conclusions about their literary function.
The Quest of the Historical Gospel explores the nature and origin of the gospel genre. Lawrence M. Wills compares the Greco-Roman tradition of the cult of the dead hero to the parallel traditions in ancient Judaism to consider a paradigm for the Christian gospels: the death and vindication of the revered hero. Wills explores the analogies between popular, novelistic biographies, such as the bawdy and satiricalLife of Aesop, alongside the gospels, arriving at striking conclusions about the origin and function of the gospels. Paraphrasing the title of Albert Schweitzer's influential work,Quest of the Historical Jesusthis book provides a timely and provocative analysis of the gospels as literature, while placing Jesus in a definitive historical context.
