George Albert Wells (22 May 1926 – 23 January 2017) was an English scholar who served as Professor of German at Birkbeck, University of London. After writing books about famous European intellectuals, such as Johann Gottfried Herder and Franz Grillparzer, he turned to the study of the historicity of Jesus, starting with his book The Jesus of the Early Christians in 1971. He is best known as an advocate of the thesis that Jesus is essentially a mythical rather than a historical figure, a theory that was pioneered by German biblical scholars such as Bruno Bauer and Arthur Drews.

  • George Albert Wells (22 May 1926 – 23 January 2017) was an English scholar who served as Professor of German at Birkbeck, University of London. After writing books about famous European intellectuals, such as Johann Gottfried Herder and Franz Grillparzer, he turned to the study of the historicity of Jesus, starting with his book The Jesus of the Early Christians in 1971. He is best known as an advocate of the thesis that Jesus is essentially a mythical rather than a historical figure, a theory that was pioneered by German biblical scholars such as Bruno Bauer and Arthur Drews. Since the late 1990s, Wells said that the hypothetical Q document, which is proposed as a source used in some of the gospels, may "contain a core of reminiscences" of an itinerant Galilean miracle-worker/Cynic-sage type preacher. This new stance has been interpreted as Wells changing his position to accept the existence of a historical Jesus. In 2003, Wells stated that he disagreed with Robert M. Price on the information about Jesus being "all mythical". Wells believes that the Jesus of the gospels is obtained by attributing the supernatural traits of the Pauline epistles to the human preacher of Q. Wells was Chairman of the Rationalist Press Association. He was married and lived in St. Albans, near London. He studied at the University of London and Bern, and held degrees in German, philosophy, and natural science. Wells taught German at London University from 1949, and was Professor of German at Birkbeck College from 1968. (en)

  • George Albert Wells (22 de maio de 1926 - 23 de Janeiro de 2017), geralmente abreviado como G. A. Wells, foi um professor emérito de Alemão na Universidade de Londres. Após publicar várias obras sobre intelectuais europeus destacados, como Johann Gottfried von Herder ou Franz Grillparzer, focou-se na investigação sobre Jesus histórico, iniciada com o livro The Jesus of the Early Christians em 1971. Ficou conhecido sobretudo pela defesa da tese de que Jesus tem origem mítica, em vez de uma figura histórica, uma teoria avançada por outros académicos biblícos alemães, como Bruno Bauer e . A partir de finais da década de 1990 que Wells defendeu que a hipotética Fonte Q, que é proposta como fonte usada para alguns dos evangelhos, pode "conter reminiscências" de um milagreiro galileano itinerante ou um pregador sábio cínico. Isto tem sido interpretado como Wells ter alterado o seu ponto de vista para admitir a existência de um Jesus histórico. Em 2003, Wells afirmou, então, que discordava de Robert M. Price sobre a questão de Jesus ser um mito completo. Wells acreditava que o Jesus apresentado nos evangelhos é o resultado da atribuição de características sobrenaturais das epístolas paulinas ao pregador humano da fonte Q. (pt)
