Historical Jesus
Taylor organised an international conference focusing on the new hermeneutic of reception exegesis, by considering the historical Jesus through the lens of Monty Python’s "Life of Brian" in June 2014, involving the participation of John Cleese and Terry Jones, who were interviewed as part of the event. The papers are published in a book edited by Taylor, " Jesus and Brian: Exploring the Historical Jesus and his Times via Monty Python's Life of Brian".
