Starting today and continuing tomorrow Professor Richard Bauckham will deliver four lectures at Southern Seminary on “The Gospels as Histories: What Sort of History Are They?”
Bauckham is Professor Emeritus at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and a brilliant New Testament scholar.
Tim Keller has written that Bauckham’s Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels As Eyewitness Testimony is “the most conclusive argument that the Gospels are not long-evolving oral traditions but rather oral histories, written down from the accounts of the eyewitnesses themselves who were still alive and active in their communities.
The lectures will be livestreamed at Southern’s site (eastern times):
