耶稣研究会(Jesus Seminar)是一以圣经批判为基础的非宗教性学术研究团体,是一个由二百位学者[1]在1985年组成,由已故的罗伯特·芬克 和 约翰·克罗森 两位圣经学者创立,由Westar Institute[2] 赞助。
耶稣研究会的研究与一般基督教信仰大不相同,他们否认圣经中超自然的论述。用史实的方法去决定耶稣可能或不可能说过或作过的事情。该研究团体发表研究成果,例如他们认为新约对于耶稣叙述的绝大部份都是不真实的、虚假的,马利亚因圣灵感孕生子的故事更可能是抄袭其他宗教的,与之同时,研究会更提倡对耶稣的史实性研究。研究会每两年都有一次会议,民众也可参加。
在创始人罗伯特于2005年去世后,耶稣研究会虽然没有正式解散,但在2006年后就停止了活动。

根据耶稣研究会1993年出版的《五福音书:寻找耶稣的真实话语》[3]纪载,研究会使用投票系统来评估大约500条言论和事件的真实性。他们使用珠子来投票,根据珠子的颜色来判断真实性的程度,各珠子的颜色及真实度如下:

耶稣研究会在判断耶稣话语的真实性时的判断标准,没人知道是否有渗入不可告人的成分。此外根据格雷戈里‧A‧博以德所说,耶稣研究会的投票标准甚至有著“双重不同”、“多重证明”等问题在[4]
