@MythVisionPodcast Год назад

Dr. Dale C. Allison Jr is, without a doubt, my preferred Christian scholar with his modest and truthful style. I concur with many of his views, although I suspect he may believe that the Gospels contain more memories than I do. Frankly, I'm unsure how one can determine the degree of memory retention when clever storytelling and mythology have overlaid the original text. Dr. Allison's historical examination of the Quest for the historical Jesus is unparalleled and indispensable for anyone who is genuinely interested in New Testament studies. I highly recommend his course!

@derinderruheliegt Год назад

@MythVision Podcast I’ve occasionally heard apologists argue for special memory retention or, more commonly, highly robust oral transmission among ancient people. I find this highly suspect because to test an _account_ for any given event you’d have to objectively know in detail what _actually happened_ (somehow) and compare it to the account. And never mind trying to figure out how true the written version is to what was being passed by word of mouth in the first place...especially thousands of years ago.

@ruthoglesby1805 Год назад

Highly robust oral traditions are evidenced; we know this has/can occur. But that phrases are catchy does not argue for it's truth, or even utility.

@swiftsea6225 Год назад

I agree Derek! Although my beliefs about the Resurrection are more in line with Mike Licona and N.T. Wright, Dale Allison’s humble attitude is something I’m going to take to heart when I study New Testament studies in the university after high school!!!

@derinderruheliegt Год назад

@ruth oglesby I would not contest that this could happen, but I am skeptical whether it did in the context we’re speaking about here. Short of having a video record of an event, it’d be very difficult to verify the accuracy of 1) the “telling” as compared to the actual event and 2) the most recent oral or written version as compared to the original telling. To some degree we could otherwise verify hard facts, like “this city was destroyed” by archaeological evidence; but establishing who said what would be near impossible.

@ruthoglesby1805 Год назад

@@derinderruheliegt Right. My point is fidelity in transmission of any data is not evidence of the truth of validity of said transmission, be it the Bible or the Illiad.

Its pretty gross that some appologists will go so far as accusing a fellow believer of not being a christain just because their more critical of the historic facts of their religion.

@@asagoldsmith3328 I studied theology at the University of Bamberg in Germany and there is no "scholarly consensus" on basically anything in theology. That's what's so interesting about it. At least I thought so. There are many interesting theories about things - even things that seem "historical" at first, like dating the gospels. But even these are things were barely anything can be said with certainty. Most is based on the texts alone and how they relate to historic events. I found it highly fascinating. I think trying to come up with "proof" for anything in the new testament is wasted time.

Thats usually the first sign, and only, for stopping listening to people. When you resort that, you simply are not, well, ANYTHING worth listening to.

Memories are notoriously unreliable, especially when they are mixed with strong emotions, that is the basis for nostalgia. We enhance "good memories" with additional invented good qualities and likewise with "bad memories" we elaborate on them, making them more scary. And every time we access a memory, it actually gets "rewritten" with new or missing parts. So to assume that the memories of Jesus are unbiased and 100% in alignment with actually happened is a strech.

I’m pretty sure @DrDaleAllison is the most reasonable Christian I’ve ever heard. As a non-believer, I find his approach refreshing after too many lectures from such dogmatic literalists as Frank Turek and WLC. And unlike those guys’ obviously flawed arguments, Dr. Allison’s work seems worth a second glance.

I loved the Allison Course. It is less a discussion of the historical facts about Jesus, and more a review of Protestant scholars' theories about gospel interpretation. It was all new content to me. Very enlightening.

The simple fact that a Christian is rebuking what a fellow Christian is saying shows how fundamentally wrong the theology of claiming to be the one true religion really is

@HarryNicNicholas Год назад

i know nothing about the bible really, or bible history, i've always been atheist and i always thought snakes and apples sounded like myth, so pardon my confusion but surely if i'm in court and i say i was in the bank vault and i witnessed a shooting, it means i was in the bank vault and i saw someone shoot someone else, which to me translates to, i was in the tomb when jesus was apparently dead but he stood up and asked for a coffee, i was there and witnessed the ACT of resurrecting. "eyewitness to the resurrection" doesn't mean i thought i saw someone alive some time after they were supposed to be dead, it means i was in the tomb with a dead jesus when jesus stood up. there are no "eyewitnesses to the resurrection" - otherwise you're eyewitness to thinking you saw someone previously dead who appears to have come back to life.

@scambammer6102 Год назад

dead people don't come back to life period. That is biology and medical science. Zero exceptions.

@chrisclark784 Год назад

This is why eyewitness testimony is actually not considered strong evidence in court trials. It is evidence but it is often unreliable.

@azorbz9286 2 месяца назад

Dr Allison is perhaps my favourite guest Paul has ever had on. The divide he places between what he claims is historically reliable and his beliefs is refreshing. Both athiests and theists often overstate historical claims, and it is great to see Dr Allison's integrity. I also find it very interesting to see a theist's perspective on the Christian apologists that Paul commonly responds to.

Never heard of Dr. Allison until this video, but it's nice to find a believer who is honest about what they can and can't prove about Christianity from the standpoint of historical inquiry. I will definitely be checking into more of his work and comparing it to the work of skeptics and apologists alike.

@timeshark8727 Год назад

Its funny how quickly they will turn someone from hero to pariah.. sometimes even having people going back and forth depending on the sentences of them they are reading. So many apologists care absolutely nothing for expertise or facts or honesty in favor of cherry picking their own conclusions as good and pointing to everything else as bad/wrong. Here we have one of the top scholars in the field, someone they crow about when his words support their claims, right up until he contradicts their conclusion on one thing, then "he's not a real Christian". The whiplash is astounding. They do the same thing with science too, they cite it whenever they find some sentence that fits then go full science denial and conspiracy in the next breath.

I think I see why various apologists are claiming Dr Dale isn't actually christian (even though he is) Several of those apologists are known for their "this book (often one specific version of the book) is 100% the literal word of god anyone who disagrees is (insert insults here)" attitude. So a believer who actually acknowledges historical nuance and that the book isn't 100% covering everything 100% as written would absolutely make some of 'em mad. XD

People have been arguing these problems going back to the first century...yes the 1st century. All those bishops and thinkers who were within a hundred years of the crucifixtion didn't have any more evidence then we do now, there just isn't enough information. Everything we know comes from stories passed down from one person to the next and we have no idea if the original story came from eye witnesses or not...what else is there to say?
