In this podcast, we discuss the authorship of the Gospels with PhD candidate and NT scholar Wes Huff. Is the traditional authorship of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John still tenable in light of higher biblical criticism? Or did the Early Church Fathers basically get it right with regard to who penned the Gospels of Jesus Christ?

Wes Huff is the Director for Central Canada with Apologetics Canada Ministries and a New Testament PhD candidate at the University of Toronto in Textual Criticism. He holds a BA in sociology from York University, a Masters of Theological Studies from Tyndale University, and is currently doing a PhD in New Testament and Christian origins at the University of Toronto’s Wycliffe College.
