Jesus and the Eyewitnesses : The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony Paperback

Paperback

Description

This momentous book argues that the four Gospels are closely based on the eyewitness testimony of those who personally knew Jesus.

Noted scholar Richard Bauckham challenges the prevailing assumption that the accounts of Jesus circulated as anonymous community traditions, asserting instead that they were transmitted in the names of the original eyewitnesses.

Bauckham draws on internal literary evidence, and recent developments in the understanding of oral tradition.

Jesus and the Eyewitnesses also taps into the rich resources of modern study of memory, especially in cognitive psychology.

Finally, Bauckham challenges readers to end the classic division between the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith, proposing instead the Jesus of testimony as presented by the Gospels.

Sure to ignite heated debate on the precise character of the testimony about Jesus, Jesus and the Eyewitnesses is a groundbreaking work that will be valued by scholars, students, and all who seek to understand the origins of the Gospels.
