Absolutely loved this lecture. Fascinating and riveting. I am only going into my second year study in Theology as a late comer mature student and I cannot wait. I always wondered who Jesus really was. From the earliest time I can remember I was full of questions about him and what he did and said and why. Thank you for uploading this.
Thank you for uploading this lecture. I liked especially his introduction that we should look to comparative anthropology, history writing, and archeology to understand better the setting of the gospel.
Great lecture. While I sit more in line with people like Bart Ehrman, Paula Fredriksen, Dale Allison, EP Sanders etc., who argue that Jesus was an apocalyptic prophet, it's always good to hear plausible alternatives. It keeps everyone honest. I'd love to be a fly on the wall watching a dinner conversation between Richard Carrier (mythicist), Bart Ehrman (apocalypticist), Dom Crossan (non-violent resistor) and Mike Licona (evangelist). It would probably turn into a food fight haha!!
I'm seeing a really strange conflict between what Crossan is saying and the subtitle text that pretends to tell what he is saying in the textural form.
