Alex O’Connor and Trent Horn recently debated the resurrection of Jesus — but beneath the polished arguments was a much bigger problem nobody stopped to examine. Let's discuss the hidden assumptions behind the reliability of the gospels, group appearances, martyrdom claims, and whether resurrection apologists are quietly treating disputed Bible stories as established history.

Apparently no one can doubt the veracity of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John until such time as they address everything in InspiringPhilosophy's 6+ hour supercut on gospel reliability. If you know anyone who is confident of the historical reliability of the gospels, send them this video.

Jesus didn’t emerge from a vacuum. In first-century Judea, apocalyptic preachers, messianic expectations, resurrection beliefs, and end-times movements were already everywhere. Yale scholar John J. Collins explains the forgotten world that shaped Jesus—and why understanding that world may radically change how you think about Christianity’s origins.

On the verge of retirement, Bart Ehrman delivers his final lecture—only to find himself at the center of sharp criticism from William Lane Craig. What follows is a tense, fascinating clash over biblical manuscripts, archaeology, and contradictions, as Ehrman responds point-by-point to claims that many Christians take for granted.

Many argue Jesus predicted He would return in the 1st century and since this did not occur Jesus uttered a false prophecy. But did Jesus really predict His 2nd coming would occur in the 1st century? Tim O'Neill from  @historyforatheists9363 joins me to look at the claims of  @InspiringPhilosophy and  @MikeWinger

Cameron Bertuzzi, Jimmy Akin and Dr. Gavin Ortlund took a look at my recent video on a naturalistic explanation for Christian origins. They were very hungry to discredit me. Did they succeed? Buckle up!

Matt Dillahunty and Than Christopoulos went head-to-head in a debate on the resurrection of Jesus, but I couldn't help but having a few things to say about Than's opening statement, and flagrant use of facts not in evidence.

The “Minimal Witnesses” hypothesis can be succinctly expressed as descriptions of twelve relatively uncontroversial naturalistic events that, in turn, gave rise to the Jesus Movement, which eventually evolved into modern Christianity.
