For the book by Albert Schweitzer see The Quest of the Historical Jesus. The quest for the historical Jesus is the academic effort to use historical methods to provide a historical portrait of Jesus. Since the 18th century, three separate scholarly quests for the historical Jesus have taken place, each with distinct characteristics and based on different research criteria, which were often developed during each specific phase.These quests were distinguished from previous approaches in that they applied the historical method to the study of biblical narratives. Textual analysis of biblical sources had taken place for centuries, but these quests introduced new methods and specific methodologies to determine the historical validity of their conclusions.After more than a century, the enthusiasm shown during the first quest diminished after the 1906 criticism of Albert Schweitzer, who pointed out various shortcomings in the approaches used at the time. The second quest started in 1953 and introduced a number of new techniques but reached a plateau in the 1970s. In the 1980s, another quest started as a number of scholars gradually began to introduce new research ideas. In 1992 the term third quest was coined to characterize the new research approaches which have continued to date.While there is widespread scholarly agreement on the existence of Jesus, and a basic consensus on the general outline of his life, the portraits of Jesus constructed in the quests have often differed from each other, and from the image portrayed in the gospel accounts. There are overlapping attributes among the portraits and pairs of scholars which may agree on some attributes, but the same scholars may differ on other attributes and there is no single portrait of the historical Jesus that satisfies most scholars.. }
