Dans "Jesus and the Eyewitnesses", Richard Bauckham soutient que les récits évangéliques reposent sur des témoignages directs de témoins oculaires. Il examine les personnages secondaires nommés dans les évangiles, les procédés littéraires utilisés par les auteurs, et la concordance des noms avec les données démographiques de la Palestine de l'époque. Bauckham réfute l'hypothèse d'une transmission anonyme et collective des traditions, proposant un modèle où des leaders individuels, ayant côtoyé Jésus, ont joué un rôle crucial dans la transmission des récits. Son ouvrage a suscité de nombreux débats dans le milieu académique, remettant en question les interprétations traditionnelles des évangiles. L'approche de Bauckham offre une nouvelle perspective sur l'historicité des évangiles.

In this episode, we welcome Justin Brierley back to the show. He is the former host of the Unbelievable? radio show and podcast on Premier Christian Radio in the UK. He is the author of “The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again” and his newest book “Why I’m Still a Christian: After Two Decades of Conversations with Skeptics and Atheists -- The Reason I Believe”. In this interview, we discuss the differences between being a Christian Apologist and a neutral moderator, the shocking increase in the number of young men going to church in the UK, the problems that have been created by the significant increase of Muslims immigrating to the UK, what atheists do to try and find “meaning”, how to deal with the problem of suffering, why it’s ignorant to maintain that Jesus was not a real historical figure, why people try to “reinvent Jesus” to their liking, how to have a “minimal facts approach” to the historicity of the Resurrection, how to approach “deconstruction” and “reconstruction”, and much more. Let’s get into it…
