Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Since Albert Schweitzer's monumental work, nearly a century ago, psychology has been banned from Historical Jesus research. But both disciplines have advanced and it is time to review the contribution that psychology can make. Bas Van Os examines the problems which surround both the historical and the psychological study of Jesus, such as the fact that we can only work with the surviving traditions that some of his early followers left us.

In-depth assessment of the contribution that modern psychological theories can make to the study of the Historical Jesus and the faith of his earliest followers. This item is printed on demand.

Can we psycho-analyze Jesus? What benefits might such analysis have for Historical Jesus Research? This title examines the key problems which surround writing a 'phsycho-biography' of Jesus - lack of data from his childhood, or information on his sexual identity - and goes on to apply psycho-analytical theory to the evidence we do have.
