Jesus of Testimony

An indispensible look at the Jesus of history and the Jesus of the Bible. . . Jesus of Testimony is hands down the best and most comprehensive look at the historical Jesus.

For more information, visit the official Jesus of Testimony page. Did Jesus really exist? If so, what can we know about Him historically?

But how can we know if the Jesus of the the Gospels is historical or legendary? Jesus of Testimony answers many of the important questions for skeptics as well as Christians in the area of Christian apologetics. [Read more...]

The Prologue of Papias

December 14, 2013 By

Here is another deleted scene from our upcoming film Jesus of Testimony. Dr. Richard Bauckham comments on the prologue of Papias and the living eyewitness attached to the oral history of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Dr. Bauckham is a widely published scholar in theology, historical theology and New Testament studies. He is currently working on New Testament Christology and the Gospel of John as a senior scholar at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. His academic work and publications have ranged over many areas of these subjects, including Christology (both New Testament and systematic), eschatology, the New Testament books of Revelation, James, 2 Peter and Jude, Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature, the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, the New Testament Apocrypha, the relatives of Jesus, the early Jerusalem church, the Bible and contemporary issues, and biblical and theological approaches to environmental issues. In recent years much of my work has focused on Jesus and the Gospels. Probably his best known books are Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony, God Crucified: Monotheism and Christology in the New Testament, The Theology of the Book of Revelation, and Bible and Ecology.
