Welcome to Lesson #4: The Integrity of the New Testament
- About this lesson
- Quiz
In this session, we're going to take a look at the Integrity of the New Testament. After all, so much of the historical argument we discussed earlier in this course relies on in it. We'll take a look at questions like:
1. “How do we know who wrote the Gospels, since the originals didn’t have signatures?”
2. “How confident can we be in the dating of these documents?”
3. “Can a document that has misspellings, slight transcription errors be considered reliable?”
All of these questions are part of one bigger question that we should ask when approaching the New Testament, especially with nonbelievers and skeptics: “Can we be confident that the Gospels–Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John–are reliable texts telling us about the life of Jesus?”
