  Can we psycho-analyze Jesus? What benefits might such analysis have for Historical Jesus Research? This title examines the key problems which surround writing a 'phsycho-biography' of Jesus - lack of data from his childhood, or information on his sexual identity - and goes on to apply psycho-analytical theory to the evidence we do have.
