This chapter focuses on the synoptic Gospel tradition, the tradition shared by Matthew, Mark and Luke.

The same yet different character shows how Jesus was remembered. The chapter gives a final thought on the question whether there is an unbridgeable gulf between a secular historian's approach to the Jesus quest and that of a Christian historian.
