Are the Gospels Reliable Examining Bias and Eyewitness Testimony

J. Warner analyzes whether the Gospel writers were biased, applying detective principles from eyewitness evaluation to show why their testimony is trustworthy. He explains that the authors lacked worldly motives for dishonesty and that their willingness to suffer and die for their claims, as well as their transformation from skeptics, provides strong evidence for the Gospels’ reliability.

    Hi Det. Wallace,
    I’m a commited Christian who finds your work extremely enriching and I think it would be perfect for my best friend on his journey.
    He is the son of retired big city LEO and former big city LEO himself. He is not an atheist—but a scattered agnostic.
    Please point to some of your work I can get in front of him for quick consumption (He is brilliant but a short attention span). I like all your stuff so cannot be too sure.
    His son converted to LDS-something he is very unhappy about and I think he needs the Lord now more than ever.
    Thank you for whatever you can do.
    Brian K
