Godless Engineer | The Gospels Are Anonymous...Period @godlessengineer | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
In today's video, we're diving into the murky origins of the Gospels and unraveling the layers of historical context behind these foundational texts of Christianity. It's a common misconception that the Gospels were written by the individuals whose names they bear. However, the consensus among scholars is that these titles were added later, and we don't know the actual authors.
This video will explore the implications of the anonymous authorship of the Gospels and challenge the notion of their reliability as independent accounts. Despite claims of multiple attestations, the Gospels often present conflicting versions of Jesus' words and actions. This discrepancy isn't minor—it's substantial enough to question the integrity of these texts.
We'll analyze how each Gospel could have evolved from copying earlier texts, starting with Mark, the earliest written Gospel. Paul's letters and other now-lost sources may have influenced Mark himself. At some stage, creative liberties were likely taken to fill in gaps or expand on Jesus' dialogues and deeds.
Join me as we dissect these texts to critique and understand the construction of one of the world's most influential religious narratives. If you're intrigued by the complexities of biblical scholarship and the quest for historical truth, this is the video for you.
