Episode 214: Darrell Bock discusses his book, "Jesus, Skepticism, & the Problem of History" [Part 1]

Dallas Theological Seminary New Testament scholar, Dr. Darrell Bock, helps us negotiate the world of scholarly criticism and skepticism toward the historicity of Jesus. Whether you are familiar with historical Jesus studies or an average layperson somewhat familiar or even unfamiliar with historical studies about Jesus and the Gospels, our conversation with Darrell will help equip you with the basics for having thoughtful dialogue with skeptics and non-believers. Our conversation this week and next, is based on Dr. Bock's 2019 book, Jesus, Skepticism, & the Problem of History.

Dr. Darrell Bock has earned recognition as a Humboldt Scholar (Tübingen University in Germany), is the author of over 40 books, including well-regarded commentaries on Luke and Acts and studies of the historical Jesus, and work in cultural engagement as host of the seminary's Table Podcasts. He was president of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) from 2000 to 2001, served as a consulting editor for Christianity Today, and serves on the boards of Wheaton College and Chosen People Ministries. His articles appear in leading publications. He is often an expert for the media on NT issues.
