Profiles in Scholarly Courage

Early days of New Testament criticism
By Marcus J. Borg
More than two centuries ago, it occurred to a few European intellectuals that Jesus as a figure of history may have been quite different from Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels.

Yes, Virginia, There Is a Q

By Stephen J. Patterson
039 Eta Linnemann’s article on the Q hypothesisa takes Burton Mack and me to task not only for our scholarship, but also for what she takes to be our attack on traditional Christian beliefs. It’s a clever exercise in apologetics. However, this...

Q

The lost gospel
By Stephen J. Patterson
034 The Lost Gospel. The very concept provokes a flood of questions. If it is lost, how do we know it ever existed? How do we know what was in it? Who lost it? And how was it lost? Perhaps most intriguing of all: Will it ever be found? A new book...

Did Jesus Marry?

By Birger A. Pearson

The Gospel of Thomas

Does it contain authentic sayings of Jesus?
By Helmut KoesterStephen J. Patterson
028 Scholars have long theorized that collections of Jesus’ sayings circulated in the decades following his death and that therefore they would be among the earliest witnesses to his message. Modern critical scholars have even been able to...

The Fall and Rise of Simon Magus

How the Worst Man in Christendom Saved the Church
By David R. Cartlidge
24 Simon Magus is arguably the worst of the bad guys in the history of the church.1 One of the major sins, simony, the act of buying an ecclesiastical office, is named for this magician who clashed with the apostle Peter. It gets worse. In the...

Dealing with the Devil

How Adam and Eve Fared After the Fall
By David R. Cartlidge
Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden serves as the foundation for Western theologies of the way we are: sinful and guilty. As the New England Primer of 1683 succinctly states: “In Adam’s fall, We sinned all.” For their sin, Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden in Genesis 3.

The Search Begins: The Fathers of Historical Jesus Scholarship

By Marcus J. Borg

What Did Jesus Really Say?

Thecla: The Apostle Who Defied Women’s Destiny

By David R. Cartlidge
025 Who was Thecla? Little known today, especially in Protestant churches, Thecla of Iconium enjoyed fame perhaps second only to Mary, mother of Jesus, in the early Christian era. Thecla’s anonymity is all the more remarkable because women were...

The Oxyrhynchus Papyri

The Remarkable Discovery You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
By Stephen J. Patterson
Discovered in the Egyptian desert over a century ago, the Oxyrhynchus Papyri have provided invaluable insights into the life and times of an early Roman Christian community of the Nile Valley. As our author explains, these priceless documents, which include everything from little-known gospels to revealing personal letters, intimately portray the beliefs and daily lives of ordinary Romans and Christians, making them one of the greatest archaeological finds ever.

Jesus Lives!

Looking Back on 20 Years of Jesus Scholarship
By Stephen J. Patterson
