On the basis of the three-particle Bethe-Salpeter equation we formulated a relativistic quark model for baryons. With free constituent-quark propagators and instantaneous interaction kernels a good description of the overall baryonic mass spectrum up to the highest spin states is obtained. Preliminary results on strong two-body decays of baryon resonances are discussed.
