“Jesus and the Scriptures:
Skepticism versus Patterns”

Abstract: Some important scholars have been inclined to dissociate Jesus from most of the scriptural quotations and clear allusions that are attributed to him. They assign them rather to the post-Easter community. This presentation outlines the reasons for their position, critically analyzes and rejects those reasons, and mounts a case to the contrary. It then contends that one plausible way of approaching the topic of Jesus and the Scriptures is to hunt for patterns that run across the sources. One outcome of doing this is that Jesus appears to have had a strongly Mosaic self-conception
