Chris Tilling is a good-humoured Englishman doing postgraduate research at Tübingen. He has asked me to draw attention to a Q&A session that he has done with Richard Bauckham about Bauckham’s new book Jesus and the Eyewitnesses. Chris says: ‘I’m hoping to get as many people as possible interested in reading this book as it is a real model of economical and precise exegesis, clarity of argumentation, frighteningly broad learning and theological relevance.’ The Q&A session will be followed by a blog series on the book.
Another New Perspective?
Thanks for the heads-up. I am really looking forward to reading this book. Perhaps a Richter 8 coming for the world of Gospel scholarship this time.
If one takes away form criticism and starts whittling away at source criticism (sounds like this is still a ways off) there will be precious little “Gospel Scholarship” left to speak of!
I had always felt that there was more than just a semblance of eyewitness activity present in the gospels, a feeling supported by very little scholarship indeed…

This time, after posting, I got a “page cannot be displayed” and tried to refresh twice before realising that I was treading on dangerous ground!
Perhaps the mystery nears a solution - or in true PoMo fashion, did it all just get a bit murkier???
Re: triplets
You’re right. The ‘page cannot be displayed’ message only means that the page cannot be reloaded (server slow, goodness knows what). It doesn’t not mean that the comment hasn’t been posted, so the risk is that by refreshing the page you repost the comment. The trouble is, I really haven’t got time at the moment to investigate this.
Re: Richard Bauckham on Jesus and the Eyewitnesses
Thanks for bunging this up, Andrew! I’ll be starting the series tonight - hopefully
