Jesus and the Eyewitnesses : The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony

---

Outline: This momentous book argues that the four Gospels are closely based on the eyewitness testimony of those who personally knew Jesus. Noted New Testament scholar the author challenges the prevailing assumption that the accounts of Jesus circulated as "anonymous community traditions," asserting instead that they were transmitted in the names of the original eyewitnesses. To drive home this controversial point, the author draws on internal literary evidence, the use of personal names in first-century Jewish Palestine, and recent developments in the understanding of oral tradition. This book also taps into the rich resources of modern study of memory, especially of the form critics and calling New Testament scholarship to make a clean break with this long-dominant tradition. Finally, the author challenges readers to end the classic division between the "historical Jesus" and the "Christ of faith," proposing instead the "Jesus of testimony" as presented by the Gospels. Sure to ignite heated debate on the precise character of the testimony about Jesus, the author's is a groundbreaking work that will be valued by scholars, students, and all who seek to understand the original of the Gospels.
