• The role of Archaeology in the Jesus industry

  Le Roux, Magdel; Van der Merwe, D. G.; Dyer, Jennifer (2016-07-15)

  The question leading to this study is whether the facts and theories pertaining to the
 Bible and Jesus Story as presented by The Authors (H Schonfield, D Joyce, B Thiering, M
 Baigent, R Leigh, H Lincoln; M Starbird, and D Brown) could be verified by the
 Archaeology evidence. I have adopted a multidiscipline and holistic approach
 considering information gathered from all media sources to ascertain what theories, if
 any could replace the traditional Jesus Story of the New Testament. I considered
 whether the alternative theories or traditional theories were believable due to the
 evidence presented by Biblical Archaeology or by the techniques used by The Authors
 in presenting their facts. By using Thouless’ system of Straight and Crooked thinking I
 was able to ascertain that the theories used in the novels written by The Authors may
 have been persuasive, but lacked substance.

  Jesus’ Baptism

  Webb, Robert L. (Institute for Biblical Research, 2000)

  "The historicity of Jesus’ baptism by John is virtually certain. The historicity of the theophany (the Spirit’s descent and divine voice) is probable, but its timing as contemporaneous with the baptism is open to question. As a prophetic call-vision, the theophany quite possibly happened at a later time. Based on an exploration of John’s baptism and ministry within the context of Second-Temple Judaism, the significance of Jesus’ baptism is explored: it is a significant turning point in Jesus’ life; Jesus is identifying with Israel’s need to repent, and he is in agreement with, John’s vision for a reconstituted Israel; since Jesus is a disciple of John, the beginning of his ministry involves baptizing within John’s movement. It is also important to understand Jesus’ later ministry along a trajectory that begins with Jesus’ association with John. This later ministry shows both continuity with and development beyond Jesus’ early involvement with John"
