History, Eyewitnesses and Things I’m Looking Forward to Reading

I just want to quickly draw attention to two items from the biblioblogosphere, both related to the historical Jesus. First, Judy Redman blogged about her latest article which has just appeared in JBL. The title is “How Accurate are Eyewitnesses? Bauckham and the Eyewitnesses in the Light of Psychological Research,” Journal of Biblical Literature 129 (2010) 177-197. I am really looking forward to reading it (the digital version has not appeared on the Society of Biblical Literature web site yet).

Meanwhile, over at Verily Verily, Rafael has been reading and blogging about Anthony Le Donne’s book The Historiographical Jesus: Memory, Typology, and the Son of David. I’ve also been looking forward to reading Anthony’s book, and thus am grateful to have a preview and some appreciative and critical assessment on Rafael’s blog in the meantime.
