E-List for discussion of the Historical Jesus and Christian Origins. This is one of the older E-Lists on the internet, having grown out of the “Crosstalk” list sponsored by Harper Collins.

• Xtalk Archives: you can read the current discussion on the web.
• Crosstalk Archives (June 1998 – May 1999) — the old Crosstalk’s web archive.

Archive of the Email debate sponsored by HarperCollins between John Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg and Luke Johnson that launched Crosstalk in 1996.

Follow-up teleconference (see previous link) with Marcus Borg, Luke Timothy Johnson, Deirdre Good, N.T. Wright, and John Dominic Crossan.

On-line seminar in association with the Xtalk e-list focusing on Dunn’s paper “Jesus in Oral Memory”. This ran from April 23 until May 7 2001. You can read the paper here:

• “Jesus in Oral Memory” (web format)

Xtalk sponsored seminar with John Dominic Crossan, which ran from February 11 – March 3 2000. There are three ways of viewing the archive of the seminar, the first two of which are in Prof. Crossan’s own edited version. Note: the archive is big — over 80,000 words:

• View in web format (recommended for on-line viewing)
• MS Word Version (recommended for downloading to view off-line on your PC)
• Original archive, arranged in individual emails

This seminar with John Dominic Crossan ran in January 2000. I strongly recommend the archive of the previous link, however, for a higher quality, more rewarding seminar.

Archive of individuals’ questions to scholars like Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, Paula Fredriksen, Jerome Murphy O’Connor and N. T. Wright. This is based on the “Peter Jennings Reporting” documentary Search for Jesus and is located at Beliefnet.
