Q&A: The historical-critical method — recommended response is Bauckham's Jesus and the Eyewitnesses

The Gospels Are History Not Myth 01:00:27 – 01:01:27

Q&A for a student in an early Christian philosophy course using the historical-critical method.

Mike points to Bauckham's Jesus and the Eyewitnesses as the key resource. The historical-critical method has dangers rooted in its starting assumptions. If the Jesus Seminar is the end result of a philosophical method, something is wrong with the method. Bauckham addresses specifically what assumptions the historical-critical method makes going in.
