So far I have not seen any indication that he views these appearances as a subjective experience of a few or many. Each time B has mentioned these he has spoken of them as an event like any other the eyewitnesses reported. How do we account for this difference in detail? The eyewitness Twelve were with Jesus when he encountered opposition in Galilee yet those encounters simply cannot match the detail where they were not present.Įyewitnesses of the resurrection appearances?īauckham has not yet explained what he understands by the resurrection appearances of Jesus. Compare the detailed narration of the trial scenes of Jesus with the bare bones sparse narration of his encounters with Pharisees in Galilee. How can Bauckham explain this within the terms of his eyewitness theory? One would expect the eyewitness reports to have the more colour in Bauckham’s model. Yet these are among the most graphically told of the Jesus stories. All disciples fled and Peter was outside. There were no (pre-Christian) witnesses present at the trial and scourging of Jesus. The trial scene: comparing Jerusalem and and Galilean encounters So far Bauckham has not addressed two of the most graphically told gospel scenes to explain how his eyewitness hypothesis accounts for them: his series of trial appearances and scourgings and his resurrection appearances.
