I dispute it, and find myself in the best of company, that of many critical theologians. The question of who Jesus was and what his message was is today wholly controversial. Concerning elementary questions of faith, especially over Christology, present-day Protestant university theologians are engaged in an irreconcilable conflict. I cannot think that this has escaped.. (the theologian's) notice and can only wonder at the way he fulminates from the outdated credal positions of his Church, as if there had been no two hundred years of research by liberal Protestant theologians and no modern historical criticism; as if what he presented as the message of Jesus were not the subject of vehement dispute within the Church.
(78:1)
