Numerous scholars who engage in historical Jesus research have some type of faith perspective with respect to the subject of their inquiry--including myself. This may be one of the factors motivating our personal interest in the subject. But the question arises, should this presupposition affect or alter our understanding of either the concept of history or our application of historical method? This paper will respond to this question in the negative. The “rules of the game” of history should preclude historians who have a faith perspective altering either the concept of history and or historical method.
