Easter Day Isaiah 25.6-9 Philippians 15.1–11 Mark 16.1-8 After all the horror, and the crowds and the noise of the day of Jesus’s crucifixion, this chapter of Mark’s Gospel starts quietly. We have already seen these women at the crucifixion scene, but we hardly noticed them there…

the historical character of Jesus - 2c The life of Jesus in Acts
by SPCK - David Allen
The life of Jesus in Acts Acts also knows of a number of details from Jesus’ life. While these are obviously far less than the Gospels include, they are not insignificant, and can (occasionally) enhance the portrait given by the evangelists, and particularly by Luke’s own Gospel …

the historical character of Jesus - 3b Paul’s ‘knowledge’ of Jesus of Nazareth
by SPCK - David Allen
Paul’s ‘knowledge’ of Jesus of Nazareth The extent of Paul’s knowledge/interest (or otherwise) in Jesus tradition is a longstanding question within the scholarship.19 We can find ourselves swimming in a tide between maximalists and minimalists, between those who see barely any ci…
