Anyone who wants to know about Jesus, the figure who towers over human history, must study the Gospels. In SOLID ROCK – Stress Testing the Gospels, Peter Murfitt tackles the crucial question of their historical reliability.
The approach is evidence-based and should appeal to a wide audience. Based on recent research, it includes a fresh investigation of the origins of the Gospels.
The truth of the Gospels is examined with respect to the concepts of correspondence (with reality) and coherence (within the documents themselves).
