Name Statistics Argument 1: What's it all about? @LydiaMcGrewChannel

Uploaded December 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

I give a brief overview of the name statistics argument for the Gospels and Acts as found in the work of Richard Bauckham, Peter Williams, and others. I also give a brief overview of the recently published critique by Kamil Gregor and Brian Blais. Over the next weeks I'll be talking about some things I see right away as problems with Gregor and Blais's critique.
