Jesus People Marcus J. Borg Third Quest Before I talk about Marcus J. Borg and Anthony Harvey, let’s look at a few characteristics of third quest for the historical Jesus. N. T. Wright coined the term ‘third quest’ in 1986. Wright used the term to refer to scholars like Geza Vermes, Ed Sanders, Ben Meyer, Anthony Harvey, Marcus Borg, and himself, who (he thought) shared the following characteristic features: · Careful, accurate, use of Jewish sources · Stress on the importance of eschatology for understanding Jesus · Abandonment of the flawed methods of the New Quest · The primary interest was in historical research in its own right. This was a direct and intentional shift from the New Quest. They want to differentiate between the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith. The term is now popularly used of any current Historical Jesus research. However, Wright was eager to use it only for those who fulfill the criteria above. Anthony Harvey Currently, he is an Anglican Priest. He spent some time as a Lecturer in New Testament Studies at Oxford University, but he now is a Canon of Westminster Abby.
