From Jesus to the Fourth Gospel
The so-called “realized eschatology” of John’s Gospel is typically thought to be distinctive, to differentiate it from other early Christian sources, and so to stand in need of special explanation. Yet despite undeniable differences, there is no clean break from earlier tradition. John rather adopts and extends interpretive conventions in place before him. Indeed, the Fourth Gospel inherits, to a significant degree, a decades-long process of rein…
The New Cambridge Companion to Jesus
The New Cambridge Companion to Jesus serves as the most up to date guide and resource for understanding Jesus' multifaceted legacy, enduring impact over time and space, and relevance in today's world. Integrating textual, historical, theological, and cultural perspectives, the essays, specially commissioned for this volume, also offer a fresh and diverse overview of Jesus' significance in contemporary global contexts. Key features include insight…
Memory, Methodology, and the Historical Jesus
Richard Bauckham’s criticisms of my book, Constructing Jesus , do not affect its main arguments, and the methodological alternative he suggests is problematic
Response to Rafael Rodríguez, ‘Jesus as his Friends Remembered Him
This article responds to Raphael Rodríguez's discussion of my book, Constructing Jesus . For the most part, his appreciative description of my contribution and aims is accurate. Three points, however, call for further clarification. The first has to do with the extent to which human memory is reliable—I am less sanguine than is Rodríguez—and the ways in which modern cognitive studies should affect Jesus research. The second concerns whether or no…

Historical Jesus in Context
Matt. 28
Matt. 28 :16-20 passed through three primary stages. There was initially a primitive proto-commissioning. This was then, at the second stage, reinterpreted in terms of Daniel 7. At the third stage, or redactional level, the pericope was glossed with items drawn from the Moses traditions and the commissioning of Joshua in Joshua 1:1-9
The Eye is the Lamp of the Body (Matthew 6.22–23=Luke 11.34–36)
The most significant recent contribution to the understanding of Matt 6. 22–23 (= Luke 11. 34–36: Q) comes from Hans Dieter Betz. In his article on ‘Matthew vi.22f. and ancient Greek theories of Vision’ Betz claims to find in the pre-Socratics, in Plato, and in Philo the clues by which the enigmatic logion about the eye as the lamp of the body can best be elucidated. He directs attention to the following texts in particular: (1) Plato, Timaeus 45…
The Pauline Epistles and the Synoptic Gospels
The question, What did Paul know about Jesus of Nazareth?, has long been debated by students of the New Testament. The debate has not issued in any consensus. Indeed, critical appraisals of Paul's relation to the Jesus of history and to traditions about him have been unusually disparate. Thus, on the one side, W. D. Davies has argued that ‘Paul is steeped in the mind and words of his Lord.’ On the other side, R. Bultmann could claim that ‘the tea…
