F.F. Bruce, "History and the Gospel," Faith and Thought 93.3 (1964): 121-145.
Quotable quote:
We are frequently told today that the task of extracting historical data from the four Gospels is impossible, and in any case illegitimate. But the people who tell us that are for the most part theologians, not historians. Whether the task of extracting historical data from the Gospels is impossible or not is for the historian to discover, not for the theologian to tell him; and one thing that no self-respecting historian will allow himself to be told it that his quest is illegitimate.
