CURRENTLY READING...Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony by Richard Bauckham. I'm just starting, but this appears to be a wonderful book, which addresses a very important topic, the reliability of the Gospel accounts. Under attack for over a century, there is renewed scholarly vigor in affirming the eyewitness testimony behind the four Gospels. I'll likely have more to say about this one.
