About

This Channel contains a growing archive of interviews, lectures, and related videos from my forty years exploring the academic study of the origins of Christianity and ancient Judaism. Some of the videos are older than others and the emphasis is on CONTENT not slick video quality--although I will be posting newer HD productions as well. This material is based upon our surviving historical sources, particularly ancient texts and the material evidence of archaeology. Major topics of my own focus have been the historical Jesus, John the Baptizer, James the brother of Jesus, the apostle Paul, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jesus. Questions of focus are: Can the original message of Jesus be recovered? How did Paul differ in his gospel message from that of Jesus? How did a new religion known as "Christianity" emerge from its late 2nd Temple Jewish origins. What have we learned from the Dead Sea Scrolls and other late 2nd Temple Jewish sources?

Video Description

In this edited segment of a private study I recently had with my "Tabor Research Group, via Patreon that offers a theory, still in development, of discovering embedded in our current Greek gospel called Luke, is a pro-Gospel, upon which Luke primarily relied, as he overwrote Mark and added his opening and close--leading to Acts. What would such a "Gospel" look like? What view would it have of Jesus, of salvation, of redemption, of any of the great theological themes of early Christianity? Would it, like Mark, has a strong ring of the ideas of the apostle Paul? Or would it read more like James or the Didache? Dive into these issues as you are drawn...I invite you to join my Tabor Research Community for lots more, discussions, my responses to messages, monthly Zoom meetings, and a fantastic and diverse group of historically oriented students of the Bible:   See details here: Join Tabor Research Community: https://www.patreon.com/jamesdtabor     About Dr. James D.
