Reliability of the New Testament / Brian Chilton

This week we take a closer look at the historical reliability of the New Testament-- a topic you will find in a New Testament or Church History class at a seminary like Gordon-Conwell, Trinity, or SEBTS.

The New Testament (NT) contains four biographies of Jesus (the Gospels), one history book of the early church (Acts), twenty-one letters (Romans to Jude), and an apocalypse (Revelation). While the letters and the apocalypse contain references to historical events, the Gospels and Acts are written as straightforward historical narratives. These are the NT books about which it makes particularly good sense to ask the question, "Are they historically reliable?" Twelve lines of evidence converge to suggest strongly that the answer is "yes."
