Baylor University has several lectures and sermons that you may want to check out. One of the lectures I recently listened to was by Dr. Dale C. Allison who is currently a professor of New Testament exegesis and early Christianity at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and the author of several books. His lecture is entitled The Historical Jesus and the Theological Jesus and the main question that he asks is if it is possible to separate the two. I enjoyed the lecture mainly because, in my opinion, it was “not boring.” Dr. Allison talks about his feelings about “assured critical results,” his own work, the Jesus Seminar and ends the lecture with interesting (albeit debatable) examples that show that Jesus is present in places where modern historians typically see “only the church.”

For its engaging delivery, probing observations, interesting questions and tantalizing examples, I recommend this lecture.
