A Great Discussion with John Dominic Crossan

Here is a great audio conversation with John Dominic Crossan that was recorded about seven years ago.

Here is a description:


After a lifetime of historical Jesus scholarship, Crossan applied his historical research methods to his own life, only to discover that memory and history do not always coincide. John Dominic Crossan has written over a dozen books on the historical Jesus, three of which have become national religious bestsellers. Our conversation with Crossan promises to offer a deeper understanding of the methodologies, purposes and content of the search for the historical Jesus and his teachings.

    uh-oh. Did he conclude that he really doesn't exist?

  3. There you go. It should work now. It is very good. He speaks about things that I think are most important for interpreting Christianity and moving ahead in faith.
