On Saturday 9th April 2016 - 02:30 pm, Bart D. Ehrman and Richard J. Bauckham join as guests with moderator Justin Brierley on radio show 'Unbelievable,' a weekly program aired on UK Premier Christian Radio from the London studio. They discuss 'Are the Gospels Based on Eyewitness Testimony?' Bart Ehrman's new book 'Jesus Before the Gospels' makes the case that the stories about Jesus would have changed and evolved before they were written down as the Gospels. Richard Bauckham, author of 'Jesus and the Eyewitnesses', defends the view that the Gospels were written by those with access to eyewitness testimony of Jesus' first followers. They debate who wrote Mark, whether the Gospels came from anonymous traditions and how they received their titles.

He is also a thoughtful theologian who has written an introduction to the theology of Jürgen Moltmann. In his book God Crucified (1999), Bauckham displays the craft of both a careful exegete and a deft theologian as he explores the riddle of how the radically monotheistic Jews who composed the earliest church could have come to call Jesus 'Lord'.'
