  • Great

    Thankyou to mark goldacre for these podcasts. I like how mark explains things for a non academic audience. Really understandable. Mark and Bart Ehrman must be protected at all costs.

  • Put your propeller hat on and get ready for an academic deep dive into the New Testament and Christian Origins. Featuring monologues, interviews, book discussions, and repurposed lectures, this podcast by Mark Goodacre (Frances Hill Fox Professor of Religious Studies at Duke University) is a wealth of information and insight. If you're ready for something deeper than simple 'feel good spirituality', this show has a rich depth and honest academic integrity.

  • This is an excellent and clear discussion of various issues in Net Testament and Christian origins. I especially recommend it to anyone who loves theology but has graduated from school (or seminary). This is stimulating discussion and Goodacre does a great job acknowledging his perspective/conclusions while still charitably explaining views of those with whom he disagrees.

NT Pod 115: The Hypothesis of the Gospels
Q: What is the Hypothesis of the Gospels about, if not a standard theory about their relationships?
It's about the underlying framework—the substrate or essence—that multiple Gospel texts share and then develop differently, rather than proposing a single decisive theory about their interrelations.
