How Early Were the Gospels Written — And Why It Strengthens Our Faith

When were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John actually written? And does it really matter? In this video, we explore the historical dating of the four Gospels and why this discussion is important for understanding their reliability and connection to eyewitnesses. Scholars generally agree the Gospels were written in the first century, but there are two main views on when within that century they were composed. We break down: • The early dating view (before AD 70) and its strongest arguments • The later dating view (AD 70–100) and why many scholars support it • What early Church leaders like Papias and Irenaeus said about the Gospels • The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic models of how books became Scripture • New Testament scholar Michael Kruger’s perspective on Gospel origins and canon • Why this historical discussion should encourage Christians, not shake their faith Whether you're new to apologetics or just want a deeper understanding of the New Testament, this video will help you see how the Gospels are rooted in early, reliable testimony about Jesus Christ. 📖 Faith is not afraid of history — and the history of the Gospels is worth knowing.
