Book
Reviews
Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony, by Richard Bauckham is reviewed by John Nolland. 'Most biblical scholars consider that Gospel material was for decades transmitted by anonymous persons, in an uncontrolled way, before it reached written form... Here is a book that invites us to a long-overdue rethink of fundamental assumptions. And its case for the importance of eye-witness testimony
for the early Church is very powerful indeed.'
The Hidden Tradition of the Kingdom of God, by Margaret Barker, is reviewed by Stephen Smalley. 'In this brilliant handling of the secret Kingdom-Temple traditions, Dr Barker challenges every reader of the New Testament to look afresh at a familiar biblical theme.'
Solomon’s Temple: Myth and History, by William J. Hamblin and David Rolph Seely, is also reviewed by Stephen Smalley. 'Here is a lively and accessible ac-count of the Temple motif, sup-ported by superb and endlessly informative illustrations, and providing maps, a glossary, time line, select bibliography, and index.'

'I am the Episcopal Rector of a small town parish in the Diocese of
East Tennessee. We live very close to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park
near mountains, shopping centers, and entertainment. I am looking to exchange
duties for a period of four weeks in 2008. The three bedroom Rectory
is located just behind the Church on very large, quiet, and private grounds.
We celebrate the Eucharist at 8 and 10 with no midweek service. If
