Can we really trust the New Testament?

In this Armor of God Web Chat, Mike James and Jeff Reed examine evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the New Testament. They explore the Bible's own claims of inspiration, the early recognition of apostolic writings as Scripture, and historical evidence from ancient writers outside Christianity.

The discussion also looks at archaeological discoveries that correspond with details recorded in Acts and fascinating examples of seemingly incidental details found across the Gospels. Like independent eyewitnesses describing the same event from different perspectives, these accounts often provide information that unexpectedly fits together.

Rather than relying on a single argument, the case for the New Testament emerges from a cumulative body of biblical, historical, archaeological, and eyewitness evidence.
