It is a very thorough and good book.
I was following the whole thing. Till he mentioned the Gospel of Thomas fake. It's the only Devine literature that's exists.The only words that came from Christ (Yeshea) actual mouth. If he read it. He didn't try to translate the phrases. I'm not a biblical scholar. I don't know how to dive in 2000 years of history
And still find the present Bible relatable.
POWERFUL stuff!
Excellent interview! Looking forward to reading his book!
instead of doing mental gymnastics and trying to make a later text support an older text and then magically call it prophecy…instead of all the cloak and dagger games why not just say the name Jesus ONCE in the old testament….jesus is not in the torah…and he no where near fill the requiremnts of the messiah laid out in that text….hes a dead jewish carpenter who told his friends hed be back before they died and he failed…he said a few nice things..and not much else///sorry
So helpful… thank you.
Fabulous, thank you.
Another thing brothers.. I've heard that a papyrus was really expensive in that time..how would they take notes of the Jesus' speeches and teachings?
Was really Mark who really wrote his gospel himself, or he had a guy who wrote for him?.. once Mark and most of the disciples very likely didn't know greek language.. that's a real issue for me.. thanks brothers great talk 💪
This is excellent. I appreciate the debunking of some of these crazy theories.
Voice is not very clear . That's the problem. And ideas are very important ..
No matter which text we read the text will never teach that God is three different persons . Jesus is God manifested in flesh (as a man) this is the true Jesus of our bible.
YOU let him get away with a comparative building of quoranic (spelling?) terrorists atop of KJVonlyists WITHOUT a challenge??? You've lost all credibility. So incredibly disappointing. Why don't you bring on a credible expert of the received text for defense of it?? Or would Biola somehow prevent you??
the Jewish Essenes (?) sect only wore a single layer of linen clothing. It is certainly possible Jesus talked with an Essene about the mysteries of heaven. Is Clement simply saying a copy of Mark with this addition exists and this copy must be kept quite maybe bc it is not authorized…could it be true but just this simple? Essenes were extremely law abiding and very religious…if true would it be innocent and nit homoerotic?
18:30 Mike Licona claims, ancient biographies were published anonymously in the antique. Only later in history writers started to add their names. What is right?
This is awesome information

Dear Sean, you and Dr Evens are amazing. Thank you for your inspiring scholarship. You have encouraged me and also used your works to defend the Bible.
When its all said and done, the most important question to settle is; who will save me from my sins-short falling? For God The Father so loved YOU that He gave His only son Jesus to pay off our sin debt..in full! Jesus died so we don't have too. Trust in this with confidence and understanding, and you will be eternally saved.
If you need teaching on the matter, the bible teaching site, teachingfaith com is a good source of info. All their content is free, The teaching series titled, 'change of mind' has all the basics…
Thank you Dr Evans. I always enjoy listening to you.
I have very much enjoyed this! Thank you, Dr. Evans!
Dr Evans presentation of Biblical evidence is consistent with what Dr Wallace of the center for New Testament studies has developed, which is significant. Thank you for your dedication and may our lord Jesus bless and protect you and your work.
I tried to pre order but Amazon shows unavailable…😔🤨😔🤨😔
I love getting to hear from these legends in the field. Thank you for your ministry Sean, I’ve learned a lot from your content. I’d love to study with Biola one day, but I’ll have to see where God takes me.
Thank you Dr. Evans and Sean. Excellent and worthwhile.
