Bauckham has been published in a variety of fields in New Testament studies and early Christianity. His current research interests include Jesus and the Gospels, New Testament Christology, and the relevance of the Bible to ecological issues. He gave the Sarum Lectures for 2006 on ‘Beyond Stewardship: The Bible and the Community of Creation,’ and is preparing these for publication. He also gave a recent series of the Scottish Journal of Theology Lectures, in Aberdeen, on ‘The Gospels as History: Comparisons with Ancient and Modern Historiography,’ and these will also soon become a book.

“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
