About this listen

Late Revelations introduces a revolutionary model for understanding the creation of the gospels in the New Testament and beyond. Rather than viewing the gospels as static and finished works published at one time, this book proposes that the initial gospels were "waves" of rolling traditions—stories, teachings, and sayings that evolved within early Christian groups. These traditions were fluid and dynamic, initially lacking the apostolic authorship attributed to them by later generations.

This provocative and meticulously researched study challenges the traditional timeline of the gospels, arguing that the final forms of the gospels according to Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, the Gospel of Marcion, and the Acts of the Apostles were not products of the first century CE, but of the second. All students of the New Testament, theologians, and anyone interested in the historical foundations of Christianity are invited to join this wave of discovery challenging conventional wisdom and opening the door to deeper exploration and appreciation of the complex processes that gave birth to the New Testament.

An interesting new look at the way the gospels were composed that will certainly set the cat among the pidgeons. I'll definitely give it another listen. Was recommended by Robert M. Price on The Bible Geek podcast. Price has also written extensively on all thing Bible related.

Nice little book
