The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

[Mudhammam]

No, I mentioned The Screwtape Letters to show that the narrative format used in the epistles is not unique to non-fiction, biography, or autobiography.   Would you agree that this is true?

Why don't you just demonstrate some historical Paul?  This is your baby, you don't get to say " go read the literature" and pretend that you've done that.  I will read whatever you choose to put forward, just try not  to link your explanation - I trust you to communicate the core yourself, and would prefer it.

Try like... "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God... To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ."


Or, "Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians..."

See the screwtape letters above......are you honestly suggesting that I should conclude that the narrative is true based upon the fact that the narrative makes claims (in this case, indirectly)?  Another "Paul says so" moment?

Cherish this pivotal moment in your educational history:
