The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

Blomberg? Hahn? Evans? Licona? Ratziinger? Von Balthasar?

You tell me which Christians you read and respect, and I'll try to include some of their thoughts in my posts, okay?

Look, WLC is a particular problem because he's outed himself as a presuppositionalist multiple times; he's literally said that he will continue to believe in the historical accuracy of the christian bible even if he were to be taken back in time to be an eyewitness to it all not happening. He's said he will continue to believe in spite of all evidence, and has in fact also stated that reason itself should be disregarded where it conflicts with the gospel.

It should be pretty clear why anything that man says, just by dint of these adopted positions, is inherently untrustworthy, and frankly, you shouldn't want those kinds of sentiments to be representative of your argument here either.
