The Quest of the Historical Jesus: A Critical Study of its Progress from Reimarus to Wrede

Dr. Albert Schweitzer set the stage for modern 'quests for the historical Jesus' in this survey of previous quests. Written about a hundred years ago, originally in German, the book was immediately important and remains important today, even if only for its historical value. This edition is in English, translated by W. Montgomery. Except for an up to date foreword and an index, Schweitzer's text comes without further comments.
