Can we have confidence in these 4 stories?
What is the evidence for the reliability of the Gospels? Are their stories historical? Can we trust them?
The Gospels are the four biblical accounts of the life of Jesus. Matthew and John were written by apostles who were direct witnesses to the events they relate. Marc is signed by Pierre's collaborator and Luc is the result of careful historical research. Careful study of their respective contributions will help us answer these questions.
Professor Peter Williams, a specialist in the New Testament, has made his erudition available to the general public to enable both the skeptic and the specialist to form a precise conviction as to the reliability of the Gospels. It examines non-Christian sources, assesses the cultural relevance of the four biblical stories, draws comparisons between them, considers recent research, and describes their transmission over the centuries.
This book plunges us into the heart of a meticulous and fascinating investigation. Through the clues, you could discover why the Gospels are reliable…
