Endnote 4 – Profiles in Scholarly Courage

Albert Schweitzer’s famous The Quest of the Historical Jesus, published in German in 1906 and in English in 1910 and still the most widely read account of the quest, begins with Reimarus. For this period, see also Colin Brown, Jesus in European Protestant Thought: 1778–1860 (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1985). For a compact survey of the quest, see N. Thomas Wright, “Jesus, Quest for the Historical,” in The Anchor Bible Dictionary, ed. David Noel Freedman (New York: Doubleday, 1992), vol. 3, pp. 796–802.
