Rembrandt’s New Testament
By Arthur K. Wheelock Jr.Peter C. SuttonAnne T. Woollett
027 Throughout his long and extraordinarily productive career, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) turned repeatedly to the Bible as a source of inspiration for his paintings, drawings and etchings. Although his composition, themes and pictorial style...

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. With the awareness of that potential difference, the scholarly quest for the Jesus of history began. At that time and in...

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 Get Angry or Agonize?

A Text Critic Pursues the Original Jesus Story
By Bart D. Ehrman
Christianity is a religion of the book. From the outset, it has stressed specific texts as authoritative scripture. Yet not one of these original, authoritative texts exists today. We have only late copies, dating from the second century to the sixteenth. And these copies vary considerably. Indeed...

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 Search Begins: The Fathers of Historical Jesus Scholarship

By Marcus J. Borg
17 During the Enlightenment, the historian’s job changed dramatically. It was no longer enough simply to chronicle events reported in earlier, authoritative texts. Tradition and authority had become suspect, as investigation and reason became the...

What Did Jesus Really Say?

By Marcus J. Borg
018 About 40 scholars, all specialists in the study of the historical Jesus, are seated around a table. They have just completed their discussion of a saying attributed to Jesus in the Gospels. The time has come for each to vote on a simple but...

Jesus Lives!

Looking Back on 20 Years of Jesus Scholarship
By Stephen J. Patterson
15 Thirty years ago, the historical Jesus was dead. By 1975, it was clear that scholars had very little to say about him. If students were assigned anything to read on the subject, it was usually Gunther Bornkamm’s Jesus of Nazareth from...

Homosexuality and the New Testament

The prohibition of homosexual behavior is embedded in an ancient legal code that Christians typically see as no longer in force.
By Marcus J. Borg
Bible Review, December 1994

Thinking About the Second Coming

To mainline New Testament scholars, it seems highly unlikely that early Christian scenarios about the future, wrong in their own time, might nevertheless be correct about some future time.

How Did Jesus Die for Our Sins?

The use of a sacrificial metaphor to interpret Jesus’ death subverted the role of the Temple: Its sacrifices were no longer the only way of dealing with impurity and sin.
By Marcus J. Borg
Bible Review, April 1995

Revelation and the Militias

It is a terrible irony when the Book of Revelation is used not to comfort victims of oppression, as its author intended, but to justify violence against the innocent.
