  Paul Anderson - Archaeology, Jesus, and the Gospel of John

  Aug 10, 20261h 1m

  Episode: The Gospel of John is often ignored by those interested in archaeology and history. However, John includes more historically verified detail (both archaeologically and topographically) than the other gospels combined. Listen in as Anderson discusses why we need to pay attention to John as a historical source. Guest: Paul N. Anderson is Professor of Biblical and Quaker studies at George Fox University. He's the editor of four volumes on John, Jesus, and History, and has written his own book on the subject ( The Fourth Gospel and the Quest for Jesus ). He's written a contextual intro to the NT ( From Crisis to Christ ) and has written over 400 essays in New Testament and Quaker studies. The book under discussion today is from his latest edited volume, Archaeology, Jesus, and the Gospel of John: What Recent Discoveries Show Us (Eerdmans, 2026).
