Title: | Review of R. Bauckham, 'Jesus and the eyewitnesses: the Gospels as eyewitness testimony': Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2006, 538 pp, ISBN 9780802831620, USD 58.99 | Contributor(s): | Charlesworth, Scott (author) | Publication Date: | 2009 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6424 | Abstract: | In this large and closely argued book Richard Bauckham of the University of St. Andrews contends that eyewitness testimony as a category of historiography is 'an entirely appropriate means of access to the historical reality of Jesus' (5). He sets out to supplement Samuel Byrskog's 'Story as history – history as story: the gospel tradition in the context of ancient oral history (Leiden: Brill, 2000)', which demonstrates that ancient historians considered the best kind of historical evidence to be eyewitness testimony deriving from personal involvement in events – by identifying eyewitnesses and eyewitness testimony in the Gospel tradition. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | Buried History, v.45, p. 33-35 | Publisher: | Australian Institute of Archaeology | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 0007-6260 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 220401 Christian Studies (incl Biblical Studies and Church History) 200305 Latin and Classical Greek Languages 210399 Historical Studies not elsewhere classified |
