#30 How Long AFTER Jesus Were The Gospels Actually Written? (Ultimate Guide)


Listen Later

“The Gospels can't be trusted! The supposed accounts of Jesus’s life were written hundreds of years after the events they describe.” How would you respond to this objection? That’s what we’re talking about today.

Today we’re going to answer the following questions:
  • Why Is It Inconsistent For A Skeptic To Make Historical Objections?
  • How Does The Bible Give The Categories Needed For Historical Objections?
  • How Do We Know The Gospels Were Written Early?
  • ----

    Your one gift can make a powerful impact. 

    When you give, Christian laymen get more than an inspiring episode to listen to or an educational resource. You empower them to build a legacy, where they and their families will be able to confidently articulate the answers to the questions the world is asking, from the Bible, and to see Jesus change lives as they share their faith.

    Your one gift helps them take the next step in “taking every thought captive.” 

    Our goal is to raise $6,000 by the end of 2022—and a generous donor has committed to match all donations up to $3000! If you give before the end of the year, the impact of your gift will be doubled!
