The Historiographical Jesus introduces a new theory and approach for studying the life of Jesus. Anthony Le Donne uses the precepts of social memory theory to identify ""memory refraction"" in the Jesus tradition--the refocusing distortion that occurs as the stories and sayings of Jesus were handed down and consciously and unconsciously framed in new settings with new applications. Recognition of this refraction allows historians to escape the problematic dichotomy between memory and typology. The author focuses on the title ""Son of David"" as it was used in Jewish and Christian traditions to demonstrate both how his new theory functions and to advance historical Jesus research.

Anthony Le Donne is Associate Professor of New Testament at United Theological Seminary.

Le Donne succeeds, as he sets out to do, in presenting a compelling demonstration of history as memory refraction. -- Catholic Biblical Quarterly This book holds value for both historical-Jesus scholars as well as those interested in Gospel exegesis. -- Benjamin I. Simpson -- Bibliotheca Sacra Le Donne reveals a strong grasp of both philosophical and historiographical literature, as well as the necessary Second Temple and early Christian texts. He is a trustworthy guide for such an endeavor as this. -- Johnny Walker -- Freedom in Orthodoxy ... with its focus on typology and history, this work represents a fine critical adaptation of social memory theory. It proves to be a significant contribution to the field of historical Jesus research. -- The Expository Times
