The book presents a groundbreaking approach to revisionist theology by integrating historical Jesus research into a cohesive framework. It challenges traditional views that separate theology from historical inquiry and establishes guidelines for developing a Christology that engages with the methodologies used by historians during the Third Quest (1980-2010). By fostering dialogue between theology and historical analysis, it aims to provide a sophisticated understanding of Jesus' significance.

Focusing on the interplay between theology and historical Jesus research, this work offers a revisionist approach that challenges the separation of the two fields. It outlines theological methods and engages with the Third Quest historians to create a nuanced christology that balances skepticism and acceptance of historical findings. The first volume specifically examines the methodologies and values in historical research, revealing how historians shape perceptions of Jesus through their interpretations and interactions with sources.

The book delves into Thomas Jefferson's editorial choices in his version of the Gospels, revealing how he selectively included and excluded elements to reshape the biblical narrative. Jefferson reframes the story of Jesus as a critique of Jewish authorities, focusing on their moral failings rather than traditional religious themes. His work presents a unique theology centered on the figure of a Shepherd-Sage, emphasizing wisdom over dogma. The conclusion links Jefferson's gospel to broader theological discussions and contemporary interpretations of his religious views.
