Larry Weir Hurtado FRSE (December 29, 1943 – November 25, 2019) was an American New Testament scholar and historian of early Christianity. He served as Emeritus Professor of New Testament Language, Literature, and Theology at the University of Edinburgh from 1996 to 2011. Hurtado headed the School of Divinity from 2007 to 2010 and directed the Centre for the Study of Christian Origins until August 2011.[5][6]
Born in Kansas City, Missouri, on December 29, 1943, Hurtado studied at Central Bible College and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.[7] While at TEDS, he majored in New Testament studies and earned a Master of Arts in New Testament in 1967.[7][8] He completed his Ph.D. in 1973 at Case Western Reserve University under Eldon Jay Epp with the dissertation Codex Washingtonianus in the Gospel of Mark: Its Textual Relationships and Scribal Characteristics.[9][10]
Hurtado received his first academic appointment at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he taught from 1975 to 1978.[8] Before moving to Canada in 1975, he pastored a church in Skokie, Illinois.[11] He then joined the Department of Religion at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, was promoted to full professor in 1988, and remained at the university until 1996.[12] During this period he founded the University of Manitoba Institute for the Humanities and served as its first director from 1990 to 1992.[13] After his appointment at the University of Edinburgh, he established the Centre for the Study of Christian Origins, which focuses on Christianity in the first three centuries.[14][15]
Hurtado was elected to the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas in 1984 and received the Rh Institute Award for Outstanding Contributions to Scholarship and Research in the Humanities in 1986.[16][17] He became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2008 and served as President of the British New Testament Society from 2009 to 2012.[18][19] He secured research grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the British Academy, and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK).[20] He gave invited lectures in many universities in the UK and other countries and was a visiting fellow at Macquarie University in Australia in 2005.[21]
The School of Divinity announced that Hurtado had died of cancer in his sleep on November 25, 2019.[22] The University of Edinburgh created a postgraduate scholarship fund for candidates studying Christian origins in his honor.[23] Holly J. Carey, Professor of Biblical Studies and Department Chair of Biblical Studies at Point University, wrote an obituary in his honour for Christianity Today.[8]

The vision theory or vision hypothesis is a term used to cover a range of theories that question the physical resurrection of Jesus, and suggest that sightings of a risen Jesus were epiphanies or internal, subjective visionary experiences, often classified as grief or bereavement visions. It was first formulated by David Friedrich Strauss in the 19th century, and has been proposed in several forms by critical contemporary scholarship, including Helmut Koester, Géza Vermes, and Larry Hurtado, and members of the Jesus Seminar such as Gerd Lüdemann. Christian apologists and certain scholars and theologians reject the theory, holding the resurrection to be an actual bodily phenomenon.
Adoptionism, closely associated with dynamic monarchianism, is an early Christian nontrinitarian theological doctrine, subsequently revived in various forms. Adoptionism is a theology about relationship, which does not affirm the virgin birth and holds that Jesus was adopted as the Son of God at his baptism, his resurrection, or his ascension. Dynamic Monarchianism does not hold Jesus' sonship was through adoption. Dynamic monarchianism is a theology about divinity, and holds there is one God, the Father, and Jesus was a man, born of virgin birth, empowered by God's own divinity through the Holy Spirit, and raised to unity with God, but not a pre-existent distinct divine person. The chronology of the development of adoptionist and high Christologies remain a matter of debate within contemporary scholarship. Some scholars see adoptionism as the belief of the earliest followers of Jesus, based on the epistles of Paul and other early literature, though most scholars find Christ's pre-existence within the Pauline letters. However, adoptionist views sharply declined in prominence in the fourth and fifth centuries, as Church leaders condemned it as a heresy. Gaston (2023) defines a distinction between adoptionism and dynamic monarchianism as different christologies, while being commonly conflated. Adoptionism refers to a theological position about the relationship between Jesus and the Father (i.e. that he was adopted by God), not the deity of Jesus, while Dynamic Monarchianism is a Christological position about the deity of Jesus. In Dynamic Monarchianism, "Dynamic" refers to being empowered by the Holy Spirit, while "Monarchianism" emphasizes a single deity (i.e. the Father). Gaston writes that Dynamic Monarchianism describes a Christology that was among the earliest Christologies, held by independent Theologians and maintained within mainstream Christianity until the fourth Century. Dynamic Monarchianism held that Jesus was a miraculously conceived man who, after his resurrection, ascended to heaven and to divine authority, as opposed to being an eternal divine Person who became human. Monarchianism is in contrast to Logos christologies of the second and third century, which distinguish the Logos as another divine person distinct from the Father. Monarchianism is categorized as Modalistic (where Father and Son are different designations for the same person) or Dynamic (where only the Father is God, and Jesus was empowered by his Spirit.)
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
