The Scriptures in general, and the Gospels in particular, have been under assault in recent years⏤and not only from atheists, but also from those in the liberal theological sector. Some say that much of the Gospels was invented by the early church. In the last generation, the representative of this criticism was Rudolf Bultmann. In this generation, critics include the Jesus Seminar (i.e., Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, etc.), Bishop Spong, and Elaine Pagels. From a more secular point of view, Bart Ehrman and Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code have attracted a large readership.

What can be said to these attacks that so permeate our culture, surfacing in editorials, TV talk shows, and blogs? Can we give a credible argument that the Gospels are historical? Yes. There is strong evidence for the reliability of the Gospels, and it is important to know it if our faith is to withstand the attacks of unbelieving scholars.
