In this interview I speak with Prof. Helen Bond, of the University of Edinburg, one of the world’s expert historians on the Roman-Jewish political and social world of Jesus. We highlight her upcoming lecture at the Sept 27-28th virtual conference, “New Investigations of the New Testament” that is now open for any of you to sign up for.

I hope all of you patrons in our little band of brothers and sisters will join us in this event. You will not regret it and I hope to discuss over the coming months, following the conference, many of the topics and subjects that will be explore.
This conference, now in its third year, has been called the “Event of the Year,” in terms of New Testament studies for the non-specialists. The theme is the “Historical Jesus,” with TEN scholars (including yours truly) invited to share their latest cutting edge research.
Take a look at the lineup at the link above, and the fascinating topics. I think you will be more than intrigued. Whether believer, skeptic, unbeliever, or one who just enjoys good solid historical studies, this conference is the best thing out there. You own the videos for life and do not have to be present at the time they are presented live.
I am honored to be one of the speakers and look forward to seeing you there. My topic is: “The Making of a Messiah: How Jesus Shaped the Gospels, and the Gospels Shaped Jesus?”
