According to Judith CS Redman, this book also contributes among others to "offer a new paradigm which does not ignore the Fourth Gospel in the search for historical information about Jesus". īen Witherington III described Jesus and the Eyewitnesses as a paradigm shift in Gospels study. The final chapter offers a theological argument against the dichotomy between the Christ of faith and the historical Jesus. The book challenges the consensus view that, "while the eyewitnesses originated (at least some of) the traditions about Jesus, these were then transmitted as anonymous traditions in the early Christian communities, developing in all sorts of ways in the process, and reached the Gospel writers as the product of such community transmission and development." It argues that the synoptic Gospels are based "quite closely" on the testimony of eyewitnesses, while one (the Gospel of John) is written by an eyewitness, which he argues is John the Elder.

This is undoubtedly an important decision. ![]() Despite the fact that 2666 may have been split up in to five novels or stories of varying lengths, the way we read it today (and have done, since its publication in 2004, a year after Bolaño died) is to read it as one whole novel. As it was, the literary executor and close friend of Bolaño, Ignacio Echevarría, read the text and argued not from financial standpoint but from something rather different: literary merit. Initially, Bolaño had asked that the novel, comprised of 5 parts, be published separately, both in the financial interests of his children and, one might think, in the interests of the digestibility of the novel. In what will go down as one of the most pivotal decisions in contemporary literary history, the literary executors of Roberto Bolaño’s will published his final novel 2666 as one cohesive work, spanning the course of 900 pages. ![]() ![]() I didnt know that, but I did understand then that there was no such thing as safe, only safer that this, if it didnt happen now, would happen later but not better.
