I.The Historian between the Quest for the Universal and the Quest for Identity The Historian between the Quest for the Universal and the Quest for Identity Finally, I shall offer a summary critique. Next, I shall trace the rise, development, and context of the Cynic Jesus thesis. (11) To begin with, a few words will be spent on those philosophical hound-dogs of old, the ancient Cynics.

It is in this light that scholars have begun to talk about a new "renaissance" in Jesus research and the emergence of a Third Quest. The vestigial skepticism of the No Quest period and the halting steps of the New Quest have largely given way to renewed enthusiasm with regard to the historical recovery of Jesus. The last two decades or so have witnessed an unforeseen explosion of scholarly interest in the quest for the historical Jesus.
