Mark Goodacre is live blogging the Jesus Criteria Conference (an outgrowth of the book described in this thread.)

Quote:

Interesting critique of Crossan's attempt to present a coherent picture of the Historical Jesus, which he regards as having failed. Words used in his paper include ""bifurcation", "etymological presuppositions" and "objective historiography". ....

The conference can be viewed online for free via Ustream

Day 2

Quote:

First up after the break is Dale Allison. As far as I am concerned, this is the keynote paper of the conference. He is speaking autobiographically about his own use of the criteria in the past, and his disillusionment with them. He speaks with authority and not like the scribes. It's a great presentation and he gets a good laugh when he tells us that he told his wife, after writing Constructing Jesus, that he was done with Jesus.

...

Chris has just mentioned my contribution to the book with respect to the pedagogical usefulness of the criteria. He also mentions that I said to him that every year I teach them, and every year I believe in them less and less. He suggests now that we prescribe the book for class.

Excellent response from Chris Keith, lively and right to the point And I agreed with most of it.

Anthony Le Donne is now responding and he begins by quoting James McGrath's concern that they might be throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

i love scholars. they, like most narcissists, have an uncanny ability to take any topic and make it about them

From day one:

Quote:

He has now sat down and Dagmar Winter is responding. Quite a theological response and one that I would need to spend a little more time digesting -- she speaks about worldviews and ends with a comment about "taking the incarnation seriously".

This last bit seems to be assuming this is bathwater being tossed out which would imply there was a baby...
