Jesus and Jewish figures of speech (3 minutes)

For a three-minute summary of some of Jesus’s Judean or Galilean figures of speech, see

The entire series on Matthew (about 20 hours in roughly 1-hour segments) may be found at: http://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/DigitalCourses/00_DigitalBiblicalStudiesCourses.html#Matthew_Keener. Not as nice as sitting in class but designed especially for those who don’t have access to the classroom.

Messianic expectation–paper for Yale Center for Faith and Culture

Yale Center for Faith and Culture invited several of us to address the concept of expectation, in connection with Jürgen Moltmann. I was invited to write a paper on the messianic expectation of Jesus. The presentation in the video here is the highly condensed version I presented orally, reading a shorter version of my paper at the colloquium.

Craig’s video series on Matthew

In a series of roughly hour-long FREE videos, Craig lectures on Matthew’s Gospel. Here is a CLIP of the first couple minutes (not perfect filming conditions or the nicest-looking professor,to whom the camera turns after the opening seconds, but hey, it’s free!):

The series is available for viewing free at: http://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/DigitalCourses/00_DigitalBiblicalStudiesCourses.html#Matthew_Keener

Ted Hildebrandt filmed me for videos on Matthew, Acts, and Romans for the purpose of making these available free for ministers in parts of the world where in-class education was unavailable. Others can watch them for free also, of course. It’s sort of like taking me for class, but with fewer jokes, no evaluated assignments, and you don’t get any class credit! It’s also harder to know in advance where to skip around on the videos than it is using my commentary. But again: the video is free, so feel free to forward it to many people’s attention.

Gospels as biographies–what are the implications?

This 13-minute video was the introductory part of a lecture that Craig gave regarding the Gospels at B. H. Carroll Institute in Texas in May 2014:

Some of Craig’s other videos posted earlier address similar issues, e.g.:
