5 Skeptical Claims vs. 1st Century History
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I received five all-caps comments from a skeptic that demanded a response. Today, we're putting those claims—from the trial of Jesus to the dating of the Gospels—under historical scrutiny.
Was Jesus a failed Revolutionary executed by the Romans for sedition?
Did Augustine change Christian doctrine to make it Manichaean and Neoplatonist?
Are the Gospels just “fan fiction”?
Why didn’t “everyone” see Jesus rise from the dead?
We tackle each of these topics, providing answers grounded in the facts of history and (just as important) the truth of Scripture.
Do you think this claim is found wanting? Let us know on social!!
