N.T. Wright said, "I believe every generation of the Church must engage, in the historical study of Jesus. Just as the Nazi theologians, Käsemann’s obvious target, had re-invented a non-Jewish Jesus so today people are inventing Jesuses who support all kinds of ideologies. And if we in the Church think we are immune from this, I would urge that we think again."

Wright's reference to Kaseman relates to the success of Hitler's philosphers and theologians in creating a non-Jewish Jesus. By preying upon people's ignorance of history and the scriptural narrative, they were able to create a Jesus who supported their own cause.

Unfortunately we are often guilty of doing the same thing. The answer? Read it for yourself. Study, question, grow and change.
