There is clearly a lot of interest in understanding the apostle Paul in our world today–even after two millennia. Recently I was honored and pleased to be asked to fill in for Bart Ehrman’s popular Podcast on YouTube and other outlets hosted by the fabulous Megan Lewis. That two part…
My on-line mini-course on the Gospel of Mark, which was released on January 12th, is really doing well with lots of rave reviews and great questions and responses by those taking it. It is open to the public, non-credit, but lots of learning at your own pace. This course is…
I only published this very informal lecture from last year three days ago but it quickly rose to the #1 spot of recent videos and already has nearly 7K views. I thought I would pass along the link to the video and also upload the notes, which you can access…
I recently did a two-part lecture titled “Bible Prophecy: The Perils of Predicting the End of the Age,” in which I offer a cautionary overview based on my study of various apocalyptic “schemes and dreams” over the past 2500 years. From the Hebrew Bible, through various strands of Late Second…

I will continue expanding and improving that organization as I add more materials, to allow…
In this three-part multi-series interview with Paul Williams, who hosts the widely popular Youtube Channel @bloggingtheology, we explore in some depth an overview of my decades long work trying to come to terms with the historical Jesus, the apostle Paul, and the emergency of something that could be distinctively called…
If you check the dropdown menu at the top of any page on my TaborBlog you will see an emerging new feature titled “The Jewish-Roman World of Jesus.” During my years at UNC Charlotte these materials were on a university web site used by my students in my courses–but since…
In this extended video interview with Derek Lambert most of Youtube channel MythVisionPodcast, we explore how well intentioned Christian apologists, thinking they “do God a service,” in fact end up DESTROYING the very New Testament Gospels they claim to honor and love.
