Studying the Gospels As History: An Introduction

Is Christianity just blind faith — or can we actually investigate Jesus using real historical method? Many people today assume belief in Jesus is purely religious — meaningful, maybe even comforting — but not rational. In this video we'll pull back the curtain on how professional historians actually study the life of Jesus. This isn’t “the Bible says it, so that settles it.” This is about probability, evidence, and historical criteria — the same tools used to study any figure from the ancient world. In this video, you’ll learn: • Why historians work with probability, not absolute certainty • What the “criteria of authenticity” are • Why early sources like 1 Corinthians 15 matter • How multiple attestation strengthens historical claims • What the criterion of embarrassment reveals about the crucifixion • Why enemy attestation and Aramaic phrases matter • How we can be historically confident about Jesus’ baptism, miracles, crucifixion, and empty tomb Whether you’re a skeptic who thinks Christianity has no rational grounding, or a Christian who wonders why historical study matters if Scripture is inspired, this episode is for you. The goal isn’t to force belief. It’s to show that the historical Jesus is not a myth hiding behind blind faith — but a figure who can be studied using standard historical method. Because inerrancy is the conclusion — not the starting point. #HistoricalJesus #ChristianApologetics #NewTestamentScholarship #FaithAndReason #Resurrection #BibleStudy
