Books like What are the Gospels? by Richard A. Burridge


In the second edition of *What Are the Gospels?*, Richard A. Burridge revisits a century of Gospel studies, showing that the Christian Gospels resemble the biographical literature common in the Graeco‑Roman world. Drawing on literary theory, he explains how a biographical lens reshapes understanding of the Gospels and contrasts the evangelists’ work with that of classical biographers. The edition adds a comprehensive final chapter on recent paradigm shifts in Gospel scholarship, a foreword by Graham Stanton, and an appendix examining the lack of early Jewish biographies.

Can We Trust the Gospels? by 4216760|Williams, Peter J. book cover

📘 Can We Trust the Gospels?
 by Williams, Peter J.

Is there evidence to believe the Gospels? The Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke, John -- are four accounts of Jesus's life and teachings while on earth. But should we accept them as historically accurate? What evidence is there that the recorded events actually happened? Presenting a case for the historical reliability of the Gospels, New Testament scholar Peter Williams examines evidence from non-Christian sources, assesses how accurately the four biblical accounts reflect the cultural context of their day, compares different accounts of the same events, and looks at how these texts were handed down throughout the centuries. Everyone from the skeptic to the scholar will find powerful arguments in favor of trusting the Gospels as trustworthy accounts of Jesus's earthly life. - Publisher.
