Transitioning from ancient Jewish narratives to the emergence of the Jesus story, this program follows theologian Robert Beckford as he studies the authorship of the Gospels and subsequent New Testament books. Beckford’s itinerary stretches from Jerusalem and Bethlehem to the Turkish ruins of Ephesus, then westward to Rome, London, and Bible-Belt America—underscoring the textual evolution that produced a standardized Bible and highlighting both ancient and modern politicization of the scriptures. Explanations of the translation process and of key technological shifts—from papyrus to vellum, for example—help create an account that is both intellectually and spiritually compelling.
