Death & Afterlife Series: Loose Ends and Caveats

I  have continued my series on Youtube dealing with ideas of Death and Afterlife in the Ancient Western world. The level of interest is a total surprise for me. The first episode alone, on “Ancient Hebrew Views,” has over 200,000 views! In this tenth segment of the series I try…

Blast From the Past: The Seasoned Wisdom of the “Dom”

I truly love this interview with Dom Crossan–as we so affectionately call him. What a phenomenon he has been over the years in our field–that special “Irish” force of nature, truly so. In this interview I hear a voice I have never heard so clearly, a kind of clarion CALL–that…

Are Christians Following Plato Rather than Jesus?

The Best Known/Most Forgotten Classic New Testament Study–Resurrection vs. Immortality of the Soul

When I was a freshman in college at Abilene Christian University in the mid-1960s I decided early on to focus on the Bible and early Christianity–basically New Testament Studies. I had returned from a trip to the Holy Land the previous summer, and I was fired up with the idea–at…

Tabor Bookshelf: Allison on The Resurrection

Dale C. Allison, Jr., The Resurrection of Jesus: Apologetics, Polemics, History (T&T Clark, 2021) is truly Allison’s magnum opus on the subject of the resurrection of Jesus. It is by far the best, most comprehensive, and acutely discriminating work on the topic of which I am aware. I love its organization…

Blast from the Past: Sorting out the Jesus Family–Mother, Fathers, Brothers, and Sisters

This revised post I originally wrote in 2015 and it has received an enormous amount of traffic over the years–definitely in the “Top Ten” category of over 500 posts on this Blog. I have revised it here and there but it sets forth a solution to the matter of how…

Blast from the Past: A Naked Jesus at the Empty Tomb?

Please don’t laugh. This is in fact a serious question that I have never heard addressed, though it apparently occurred to Michelangelo! Tomorrow I am recording a Youtube segment in my ongoing series on ideas of “Death and Afterlife” in the ancient Western world that will deal with our early…

Why I Like this New Oxford Annotated Bible–Revised Standard Version

Of all the main English translations of the Bible available–and there are more than a few dozen–I still prefer the older Revised Standard Version (RSV) published in 1952–with a 2nd edition in 1971. I realize most of my academic colleagues recommend the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), released in 1989…
