A review of Philip Pullman's The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.

If your mother claims that you are an honest person, we may trust you that you will do what you say. Yet some reservation is understandable…

Who did Jesus really think he was? Did he actually claim to be God? And does it matter if he did?

Did Jesus claim or imply that he was anything more than a prophet? Or did his followers transform him into the Son of God many years later?

Did the early Christian communities apply Jesus's teaching to the problems they faced or alter the facts to fit their agendas?

In this video, Richard Bauckham considers whether we can know who were the main witnesses behind the Gospel accounts of Jesus's life.

Were the Gospel accounts based on the testimony of eyewitnesses who were still alive when the Gospels were written?

The way the Gospel accounts use correct place names shows that they were based on reliable information from first hand testimony.

Can we be confident that we have the original text of the Gospels? How does it compare to other ancient documents?
