In this new Lectio bible study, Dr. Brant Pitre draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, and he gives an in-depth look at the gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Jesus’s divinity.

Nine episodes on a 4 disc set include:

Were the Gospels Anonymous? (36:12 min)
The Early Church Fathers (34:18 min)
Are the Gospels Biographies? (36:52 min)
When Were the Gospels Written? (38:20 min)
The Kingdom of God and the Messiah (34:28 min)
Did Jesus Claim to Be God? (34:19 min)
The Crucifixion of Jesus (37:16 min)
The Resurrection of Jesus (44:09 min)
Question and Answer (38:29 min)

“What we find in examining these early writings is that there was no question whatsoever about who authored the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. According to Church Fathers, even the heretics affirmed that the Gospels were written by eyewitnesses. These heretics did not believe that the apostolic eyewitnesses were telling the truth, but their writings do not suggest a belief that the Gospels are forgeries or that they were written anonymously and then attributed to eyewitnesses after the fact.”
