Written too late? Attributed to the wrong authors? These objections are circulating widely, including on social media. It's time to address them seriously. In this video, I welcome Matthieu Lavagna, apologist and author of *Do the Gospels Tell the Truth?*, to examine the reliability of the Gospels. Not through a prior act of faith, but through the tools of academic historiography. Together, we discuss the manuscripts of the New Testament, dating, attribution to the evangelists, archaeological evidence, and a little-known but crucial argument: onomastics, that is, the statistical correlation of first names in the Gospels with those attested in Judea in the 1st century. We also address the question of the apocryphal gospels, these later, Gnostic texts, which even non-Christian historians dismiss without hesitation. Believing is not about feeling something. It's about adhering to a truth for sound reasons. This video provides some of them.
