The Quest for the Real Jesus: Radboud Prestige Lectures (or via: amazon.co.uk) by Prof. Dr. Michael Wolter

Quote:

His prestige lecture was entitled: ‘Which is the real Jesus?’. In this lecture he challenged many of the current views within the historical Jesus research by critically evaluating the approaches in various categories. Afterwards this lecture was presented to a variety of scholars from different disciplines who approach the problem from their particular perspectives, thus bringing a rich texture of insights, apart from engaging critically with Wolter’s views. Thus one can appreciate the role the quest for the historical Jesus plays within a wider framework. This resulted in interesting articles that not only deal with historical, but also with philosophical and hermeneutical issues.

The book has not yet been released, but there is a googlebooks preview.

It appears to be aimed at Christian believers who need to reconcile the Jesus reconstructed by the historical Jesus guild with their living Christ of faith.

Michael Licona appears to be his student and is a contributor, still arguing that the Resurrection can be considered a historical event.

It's the Holy Grail. The best minds of our generation destroyed by madness.

That's a misprint. Should have been "hysterical".
