[Eng] Are the Gospels bluffing? How to check the New Testament (Dr. Luuk Vandeweghe) |🎙R+F Podcast

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.
