Eyewitness Gospels!: Why the Biblical Accounts of Jesus Are Reliable (No-Prep Bible Studies) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This may be the most important Bible study you undertake this year!

At the center of the Christian faith stand the four Gospels. If they are reliable, our faith rests on solid historical ground. If they are not, everything is in doubt.

Bible skeptics such as Bart Erhman argue that the Gospels were written 40 to 80 years after the life of Christ and that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were not the true authors. Both of these assertions challenge the historical trustworthiness of the biblical accounts of Jesus—and by extension the confidence of believers.

Eyewitness Gospels! concisely presents strong evidence for early Gospels written by the traditional authors, giving Christians an informed foundation for their faith.

In this Bible study, you will explore questions such as:

• Is the New Testament itself concerned about preserving eyewitness testimony?
• Are there any internal clues that demonstrate the New Testament writers were trustworthy?
• How soon after the life of Christ were the Gospels written?
• Is the life of Christ corroborated by secular historians?
• Have the Gospels been changed over centuries of copying?

Eyewitness Gospels! addresses these issues in six very clear, accessible chapters:

1. The Eyewitness Focus of the New Testament
2. The Earmarks of Eyewitness Testimony
3. Early Matthew, Mark, and Luke
4. Early John
5. Scribal Additions
6. Onward to Belief
