BAS's Acclaimed Video Lectures: Series Two: Set IV: The World of the New Testament
Recorded live at BAS's Bible and Archaeology Fest 2000, this five-video set brings world-renowned experts directly to your living room or classroom. Each video is approximately 60 minutes long. IVa. Galilean Archaeology and the Historical Jesus Quest Douglas Edwards, University of Puget Sound Edwards reviews the history of the Galilee and provides an overview of archaeological methods in order to understand the young Jesus in his historical and geographic context. In the process, Edwards uses archaeological discoveries in Galilee to better understand Jesus and his relationship to the world. IVb. Discovering Lost Gospels Bart Ehrman, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill A trove of manuscripts discovered in Egypt in 1945 proved to be long-lost gospels. Though not considered canonical, these manuscripts showed that early Christianity did not have a uniform set of teachings that were accepted by all believers. Ehrman guides us through these little-known gospels to reconstruct the theologies of some of the earliest Christians. IVc. Enoch and Jesus: Parallel Paths to Heaven Birger Pearson, University of California, Berkeley Pearson examines why there are many similarities between early Christian traditions about Jesus and early Jewish interpretations of the Biblical figure of Enoch. He explores these similarities and suggests that a common ancestry unites rabbinic Judaism?from which modern Judaism derives?and Christianity. IVd. Honor and Shame: Core Values of the Biblical World Richard Rohrbaugh, Lewis and Clark College Rohrbaugh elucidates the concepts of honor and shame, which he sees as core values in Mediterranean culture and thus of the Biblical world. Rohrbaugh draws on his experiences of living in both the Mediterranean world and in the West. He concentrates on passages in the New Testament that are influenced by the culture of the region and highlights the important role of honor and shame in those verses. IVe. Locating the Herodian Temple: Old and New Theories in Light of Ancient Literary Evidence James Tabor, University of North Carolina, Charlotte Tabor attempts to fix the disputed location of the Jerusalem Temple with the help of ancient texts. He examines a wide array of intriguing theories put forth by leading scholars that question whether the Temple was located on what we today call the Temple Mount or if it was actually farther to the south.
