Albert Schweitzer kicked off the modern search for the "historical Jesus" a century ago, and the search continues to this day. Scholars have complicated the quest by trying to "find" the historical Paul and James, etc., but, in every case, they are hoping to reinvent Christianity in a way that will allow them to embrace its best ideals and jettison the many facets of the religion that insult the post-Enlightenment intelligence.
We wish them luck.
