Stephen J. Patterson (b. 1957) is an American scholar of the New Testament, early Christian apocrypha, and the origins of Christianity.[9] He is best known for his scholarship on the Gospel of Thomas and the historical Jesus.[10] From 1988- 2010 he was professor of New Testament at Eden Seminary in St. Louis.[9] Since 2010 he has been the George H. Atkinson Professor of Religious Studies at Willamette University in Oregon.[9] Patterson was a prominent member of the Jesus Seminar and chaired the Jesus Seminar on Christian Origins in its early phase.[11] His views on the history of Jesus and Christian origins are largely revisionist.[10][12] Patterson has authored several books, the best known of which is The God of Jesus (1998), which explores the meaning of the historical figure of Jesus for modern life. His 2018 book, The Forgotten Creed,[13] won the 2021 Grawemeyer Award in Religion.
