Episode 117: Is The New Testament Historically Reliable?

Are the gospels historically reliable? Many skeptics would argue that they are not. They will say they’re embellished tales of a man named Jesus at best and outright fairy tales at worst. But is that where the evidence truly points?

This episode’s guest, Dr. Craig Blomberg would say no. In this episode, Evan Minton and Craig Blomberg discuss the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament gospels. They cover whether the gospels were authored by the people whose names they bear, whether The New Testament content has been reliably preserved through the generations, and extra-biblical and internal evidence that the gospel authors were recording real history.
