[Eng] Are the Gospels bluffing? How to check the New Testament (Dr. Luuk Vandeweghe) |🎙R+F Podcast
from Разум + Вера · host Mikhail Abakumov
The New Testament is an ancient text considered sacred and infallible by many Christians. But can we test its reliability? New Testament biblical scholar Luuk van de Weghe suggests that we can look to the internal evidence of the text itself — often unnoticed details that clearly show that the evangelists were not bluffing, but really knew what they were writing about. We will examine his argument, focusing on the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, and we will also consider other popular objections of skeptics in passing. 👤 PODCAST GUEST Luuk van de Weghe is a New Testament scholar and specialist in onomastics (the study of names), speaker, and author. He received his PhD from the University of Aberdeen. His research focuses on the historical details of the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. He is the author of three books, he Historical Tell: Patterns of Eyewitness Testimony in the Gospel of Luke and Acts, For People Like Us: God's Search for the Lost of Luke 15, and Living Footnotes in the Gospel of Luke: Luke's Reliance on Eyewitness Sources. • More of our podcasts: • Reason + Faith Podcast🎙
