Cold case detective, J. Warner Wallace discusses Cold-Case Christianity with Brady Blevins from the Atheist Christian Book Club. In this clip, J. Warner answers an objection leveled by an atheist in the group: Many scholars believe the Gospels are written after the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70AD. Why should we believe they were written any earlier? J. Warner addresses this issue as he describes the nature of circumstantial evidence.

This book teaches readers ten principles of cold-case investigations and applies these strategies to investigate the claims of the gospel authors. The book is accompanied by an eight-session Cold-Case Christianity DVD Set (and Participant’s Guide) to help individuals or small groups examine the evidence and make the case.

If I’m not mistaken, the early Church testimony is that Matthew was written first, in Hebrew and then translated into other languages. And I think the reasons why some want to say Mark is first is to try to argue for an evolution of The Gospels, which is not the case.
