From Westar Institute’s Fall 2010 meeting.
In 1985, Dom Crossan and Bob Funk joined forces to lead the newly formed, controversial Jesus Seminar on a quest for the historical Jesus. Crossan has since become a major figure in the fields of biblical archaeology, anthropology, and New Testament criticism.
