Abstract
The Jesus of history and the Christ of faith are 1:\vo ditTerent tigures. Two centuries of search for the historical Jesus has led to greater awareness and better use of New Testament criticism, had salutary effects on proper historical biblical research and the desire to look beyond the paucity of material about Jesus in the canonical gospels. Despite proven diftl.culties the historical Jesus is an endless enterprise eliciting an equally endless fascination. The solution to the Jesus mystery appears better linked to Paul who has never beensubjected to the same degree of historical research as Jesus. The tl.gure, character, preaching, and teaching of Jesus was fashioned by the gospel authors not just to fit in with the primitive church but to provide a natural linkage with Pauline Christianity. Christian faith is only loosely intemvined with Jesus of Nazareth and has everything to do with the Christ devised by Paul
