continue proper discipleship that follows from the conclusions of the previous aims, and.maintain historical integrity in talking about Jesus,.Only by hard, historical work can we move toward a fuller comprehension of what the Gospels themselves were trying to say. We cannot assume that by saying the word Jesus, still less the word Christ, we are automatically in touch with the real Jesus who walked and talked in first-century Palestine.
I agree with Wright when he says "Many Christians have been, frankly, sloppy in their thinking and talking about Jesus, and hence, sadly, in their praying and in their practice of discipleship. He believes that a better, deeper, fuller understanding of who Jesus was (or who Jesus thought he was) will help modern day scholars remain truth tellers and not story tellers.
Wright in The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering who Jesus was and is is on a quest to discover the historical Jesus.
