Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony (2006) is a book by Richard Bauckham.

Abstract

"'Jesus and the Eyewitness' argues that the four Gospels are closely based on the eyewitness testimony of those who knew Jesus. The author challenges the assumption that the accounts of Jesus circulated as 'anonymous community traditions', asserting instead that they were transmitted in the name of the original eyewitnesses."--Publisher description.
