Paul’s Christology of Divine Identity (Bauckham)

In my book God Crucified: Monotheism and Christology in the New Testament (The Didsbury Lectures for 1996; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1999) I set out in broad outline a particular thesis about the rela ionship of early Jewish monotheism and early Christian Christology, which also entails a relatively fresh proposal about the character of the earliest Christology. My purpose in the present paper is to summarize the thesis of the first two chapters of
God Crucified, and then to focus in considerably more detail than I have done hitherto on the Pauline epistles, to show how the thesis is verified and exemplified in Pauline theology.

“The Disciple Jesus Loved”: Witness, Author, Apostle— A Response to Richard Bauckham’s Jesus and the Eyewitnesses by Andreas J. Köstenberger and Stephen O. Stout (2008)

Richard Bauckham’s Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2006) makes a persuasive argument that the Gospels display eyewitness testimony and thus renews the quest for the identity of the Beloved Disciple as the author of the Fourth Gospel. While Bauckham attributes this Gospel to “the presbyter John” mentioned by Papias, the authors of this study show that the patristic evidence more likely seems to support the authorship of John the apostle and that the literary device of inclusio in the Fourth Gospel, astutely observed by Bauckham, also favors the authorship of John the son of Zebedee.

The Alleged “Jesus Family Tomb” (Bauckham)

The death and resurrection of Jesus is rarely far from the news. Recently, James Cameron (director of Titanic) produced a documentary claiming, to the amazement of the watching world, that the tomb of Jesus and his family has been unearthed. Is this another Da Vinci Code-style thriller, or a crock of old bones? Leading New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham investigates.

Response to Margaret Mitchell’s Paper “Patristic Counter-Evidence to the Claim that Gospels were written for all Christians” (Bauckham, 2003)

This is a response by Richard Bauckham to Margaret Mitchell’s paper, “Patristic Counter-evidence to the Claim
that The Gospels Were Written for All Christians”, which was presented to the Synoptics Section of the SBL Annual
Meeting, Atlanta, November 2003. Please note that this response is to that paper as previously posted, and not to the forthcoming published version, which may have taken account of several of these points.
