Richard Bauckham — Jesus and the Eyewitnesses

The EerdCast

Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, when it was first published a decade ago, shook up the field of gospel studies. In a way, that's what Richard Bauckham intended. The book was meant to provoke a paradigm shift — a shift away from form criticism, which sees the gospels as strands of oral tradition, woven together and adapted by various communities, and toward an understanding of the gospels as eyewitness testimony, compiled and organized by particular authors with access to living memory of the events. *EerdCast Sale: order the book at 30% off when you use the code TESTIMONY here: http://bit.ly/2qW5JMj
