Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony

The book presents a compelling argument that the four Gospels are rooted in the eyewitness accounts of those who knew Jesus, countering the idea of anonymous community traditions. Richard Bauckham, a distinguished New Testament scholar, challenges conventional views and emphasizes the importance of original eyewitnesses in the transmission of these accounts. This expanded second edition includes a new preface, additional chapters addressing critiques, and an updated bibliography, enhancing the depth and clarity of Bauckham's influential work.
