In this video, I address the misconception that the Gospels are biographies or historical accounts. I argue that, according to actual historians and critical New Testament scholars, the Gospels do not meet the criteria of historical narratives.
I explain that while the Gospels may adopt a tone of historical narrative, they lack crucial elements that characterize genuine histories or biographies. Unlike typical historical biographies, the Gospels do not discuss their sources, explain the selection criteria for these sources, or address contradictions within them.
I critique the attempt to present the Gospels as historical accounts, particularly the Gospel of Luke. I argue that these texts do not adhere to the standards of historical writing and should not be considered reliable historical sources.
Join me as I delve into this topic, offering insights into the nature of the Gospels and their significance in historical and religious contexts.
