A good example of current work on the Historical Jesus can be found at the Thoughts on Antiquity site, and in particular the short, ongoing series on Q by Chris Zeichmann.

I mention this as it is interesting to see the thought processes and methods behind this strand of New Testament work, regardless of your confidence in attempts to reconstruct a Christ who does not reflect current sensibilities!

For Dan:

You can find out more about the Jesus Seminar on their site and there is a site dedicated to the output of N T Wright called, unsurprisingly, the N T Wright Page. For more on Marcus Borg visit A Portrait of Jesus.

The ‘morphing’ Jesus is here.

Some sources to help you get your head around these two schools of thought:

• Two ‘Schools’: Alexandria and Antioch
• The Christological Controversy Area
• Athanasius: on the incarnation

It seems to me that Wordle is one of the net tools which could be useful in worship. If you were to use the image above for meditation you would become suffused with the Statement of Chalcedon on the definition of Christ.

There is a useful collection of texts on the early Christological debates over on Monachos.net. You can get an overview at the Christological Controversy Study Area.
