N. T. Wright
"The question of whether the Gospels are based on eyewitness
accounts has long been controversial. Richard Bauckham, in a
characteristic tour de force, draws on his unparalleled knowledge
of the world of the first Christians to argue not only that the
Gospels do indeed contain eyewitness testimony but that their first
readers would certainly have recognized them as such. This book is
a remarkable piece of detective work, resulting in a fresh and
vivid approach to dozens, perhaps hundreds, of well-known problems
and passages." James D. G. Dunn
"Another blockbuster from the productive pen of Richard Bauckham. .
. Not to be missed!" Graham Stanton
"Shakes the foundations of a century of scholarly study of the
Gospels. There are surprises on every page. A wealth of new
insights will provoke lively discussion for a long time to come.
Readers at all levels will be grateful for Bauckham's detective
work that uncovers clues missed by so many." Times Literary
Supplement
"Bauckham's careful and eloquent presentation of his argument,
supported not just by careful scholarship but by admirable common
sense, deserves earnest consideration by all." Choice
"It will be hard to take seriously future works on the origin of
the Gospels that have not interacted with Bauckham. . .
Recommended." Martin Hengel
"Fascinating! . . . This book ought to be read by all theologians
and historians working in the field of early Christianity. Further,
Bauckham's convincing historical method and broad learning will
also help pastors and students to overcome widespread modern Jesus
fantasies."
