The Gospels are our primary source of information about Jesus’ life. But can we have confidence in their historical reliability? The answer is, YES! One aspect of good historical writing is its dependence on eye-witness testimony. In this workshop, Martyn will demonstrate how the text of the Gospels provides evidence that their sources were people who had a personal experience of Jesus. Interactive and with worked examples, this workshop will increase your confidence in the New Testament as a whole and equip you for conversations with people where you can defend the Christian faith. The content of this workshop is the first part of a larger course which Martyn is developing to equip Christians with confidence in the historical credibility of the New Testament.
