Is The Bible True? (Part 2)
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In part two of his discussion on the reliability of the Bible, Steve Gregg argues that the Bible should be assessed primarily based on its testimony of Jesus Christ as the central figure of Christianity. He points to the detailed and credible accounts of the Gospels, as well as secular sources such as Josephus and Tacitus, in confirming Jesus' existence, crucifixion, and resurrection. Eyewitness testimony and the absence of credible alternative theories further support the Bible's account of Jesus' resurrection. By considering these factors, Gregg asserts that the Bible's truth and reliability depend on Jesus being true, and evidence suggests his claims are true, including his resurrection.
