How the Gospels Pass the Historical Test | Tim and Lydia McGrew

I was delighted to meet philosophy professor Tim McGrew at a recent conference. He and his wife Lydia, in addition to their publications on philosophy, also do a lot of work in Christian apologetics.

This week they join me on the podcast to address the biggest myths about Gospel authorship, dating, and accuracy. From undesigned coincidences that criss-cross all four Gospels, to Luke’s geographical and political precision in Acts, to the statistically perfect 1st-century Jewish names—the evidence is far stronger than mainstream scholarship admits. If you’ve ever wondered whether the New Testament can stand up to rigorous historical scrutiny, this episode is one to listen to.
