Richard Bauckham recently lectured on the Gospels as history at SBTS. The audio and video have been graciously provided for the rest of us:
“The Gospels as Historical Biography”
“The Gospels as History from Below, Part I”
“The Gospels as History from Below, Part II”
“The Gospels as Micro-History and Perspectival History”

Thanks man. I still need to read his Gospel and Eyewitnesses. But I’ve been so lost in Paul. 🙂
I have stalled in that book as well, but I fully intend to read it this year. Of course, intent is a funny thing!
Am I the only one who downloaded the first lecture, only to have it be just 32 seconds long?
I haven’t downloaded it. Audio or video?
Well, it worked when I went back and tried it again. I tried the audio. Not sure if the problem was with me or them. I’ll assume it was them…
I would too.
I was lucky enough to spend an hour or two with him over coffee in Queensland a few years ago. I asked him every question I had about his eyewitnesses book. He was very generous and humble. The book radically changed how I read the gospel.
Thanks for posting this. Excited to have a listen.
However, the comments have made for a personal dilemma. I had decided to make Bauckham’s Jesus and the God of Israel my next book purchase–on the recommendation of Patrick Mitchel @FaithinIreland. But now I’m torn–maybe I should get Gospel and Eyewitness instead?
@Crystal: I have heard great things about Jesus and the God of Israel and I have the other. I can recommend the one on the eyewitnesses because I’ve read a bit about it. I am sure you can’t go wrong with either!
Is there any way to get the handout he was using in the second and third lectures? I would really love to have that information in hand.
@Kendall: You could ask SBTS if they have any notes, but I don’t. My links go to their website.
