Richard Bauckham

Richard Bauckham (b. September 22, 1946) is a New Testament scholar and professor of New Testament studies at St. Mary's College, University of St. Andrews, Scotland. "Bauckham is perhaps best known for his studies of the book of Revelation and for his commentaries on Jude and 2 Peter. He is also a thoughtful theologian who has written an introduction to the theology of Jürgen Moltmann. In his book God Crucified (1999), Bauckham displays the craft of both a careful exegete and a deft theologian as he explores the riddle of how the radically monotheistic Jews who composed the earliest church could have come to call Jesus 'Lord'." Richard Floyd, "Review: God Crucified: Monotheism and Christology in the New Testament", Theology Today (2001) His book Jesus and the Eyewitnesses won the 2007 Book Award in Biblical Studies from Christianity Today.
