F.F. Bruce on History and the Gospel
The following article is now available in PDF:
F.F. Bruce, "History and the Gospel," Faith and Thought 93.3 (1964): 121-145.
Quotable quote:
We are frequently told today that the task of extracting historical data from the four Gospels is impossible, and in any case illegitimate. But the people who tell us that are for the most part theologians, not historians. Whether the task of extracting historical data from the Gospels is impossible or not is for the historian to discover, not for the theologian to tell him; and one thing that no self-respecting historian will allow himself to be told it that his quest is illegitimate.

Thank you again for all these great resources. They are being put to good use! They really make a difference. I know you put a lot of time and even financial resources into procurring and posting these articles and I think we do you a real disservice by grabbing these up without an acknowledgment of all your hard work. In short, thank you.
For any of the rest of you who have benefited from this, let's give Rob a HUGE thanks!
P.S. Rob, if you could be so kind to update the sidebar link from my blogger (mattdabbs.blogspot.com) to my wordpress account - mattdabbs.wordpress.com I feel reall honored to be there. God bless you.
