what you’ll learn in this free webinar:<\/h2>\n\n- The New Testament Gospels are anonymous. Why did early Christians say they were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John?<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
- What\u2019s the best evidence that they were written by the apostles?<\/span><\/li>\n
- Do the Gospels themselves provide any hints that they were written by apostles?<\/span><\/li>\n
- Were the apostles of Jesus educated well enough to write books?<\/span><\/li>\n
- How could Aramaic-speaking authors manage to write such high-level Greek? Were the Gospels originally written in Aramaic?<\/span><\/li>\n
- Did the apostles use secretaries to edit and translate their work?<\/span><\/li>\n
- What are the best arguments against these books being written by these apostles?<\/span><\/li>\n
- Did the early church fathers claim the apostles wrote these books in order to make them more authoritative? <\/span><\/li>\n
- And if the Gospels were not written by early apostles<\/a>, where did their actual authors get their information?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
