THESE TWO VOLUMES do not present portraits of the historical Jesus, but deal with the science of studying him as a historical figure. Written from vastly different perspectives, both will probably serve their respective target audiences well. Bock's contribution is geared toward students at conservative Christian schools and seems to presume that readers will find the question of studying Jesus as a historical figure to be controversial in and of itself. Much of the book is taken up with explaining the basic processes of the historical-critical method (source, form, redaction). The author holds that these methods are often misused in the hands of skeptical scholars, but can yield insight into biblical understanding nevertheless. Bock's respect for biblical authority begs many of the questions that most historical Jesus scholars want to engage. But for those who do not wish to challenge the Christian tradition at such points, the book provides a useful introduction to the field. If Bock is dismissive of old and new quest exemplars, he finds much that is worthy of appreciation in the work of those "third quest" scholars who accept the historicity of Jesus' messianic claims and interpret his life and ministry in light of first-century Judaism. The book is apparently a prologue to Bock's own study, Jesus According to the Scriptures (Baker, 2002). Dawes's work focuses on the philosophical challenge that the historical sciences have posed to any concept of religious authority. Historical knowledge and the concept of historically verifiable truth served to relativize religious claims by relating them to the circumstances of a particular time and place and refusing to grant a priori authority to any particular cultural phenomenon (such as the Bible). Dawes surveys the work of major thinkers—from Spinoza to Pannenberg— who have reflected in different ways on this problem. Dawes also evaluates their historical and philosophical effectiveness and categorizes them as offering three types of solutions: rejection of traditional theology, re-thinking of Christian claims, and radical distinction between revelation and history. Ultimately, Dawes believes the problem remains unsolved and refers to his own book as an "unhappy record" that "invites a sceptical conclusion" (p. 367). Taken together, these books allude to a dialogue in which they themselves do not engage. Dawes intentionally avoids any discussion of "the third quest," preferring to focus on the larger questions of historical consciousness. Bock's book ignores such issues and could be viewed as an instance of yet another "solution" to the historical question that Dawes does not even deem worthy of consideration: asserting what historians insist needs to be argued and then continuing to behave as though the questions had never been raised.
