The Gospel writers believed that the events they reported truly happened, but the appearance of heavenly doves, supernatural voices, and miraculous transfigurations aren’t the stuff of everyday life. Modern readers hesitate to classify the Gospels as history, and yet scholars acknowledge that historical material underlies them. Meanwhile, Paul shows little interest in a historical account of Jesus’ life at all—he mines the Jesus story for doctrinal gems, tossing out a scant few references to events depicted in the Gospels.

In these lectures, famed scholar C.K. Barrett scours the New Testament for evidence of an early Gospel tradition that preserves the church’s initial understanding of the events of Jesus’ life—and their theological ramifications.

What did it mean to be an apostle in New Testament times? What does it mean today? C.K. Barrett surveys the New Testament to discover who the apostles were, what they did, and the relationship between the 12 apostles and later Christian leaders such as Paul. Barrett then assesses how churches can reflect apostleship in their faith, preaching, life, and order—especially in light of radical theology and the ecumenical movement of the 1960s.
