The Gospel Truth: What Are the Gospels of the New Testament?

While our four gospels eventually were named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, did you know they're actually anonymously written? So, who actually wrote the gospels? And when were they written? Do we know where the writers were when they were writing? And much more!

I am a Muslim and I love these podcasts. I always believed religion should be approached from a historical perspective before a theological perspective

[wwiels]

I've heard professor Ehrman's jokes a zillion times and his own giggling at them still makes me smile. Kudos!

[jamieseales]

As a Christian, what I love about these videos is that they make space for multiple viewpoints. Yes, there is truth, but how we see truth is shaped by so many different “things.”

[flourichs]

Fantastic video. As a former fundamental Christian deconstructing the faith I was indoctrinated with, I'm thankful for YouTube videos like this that go into detail of the fallacies about the origin of the gospels and the Bible itself. Have a fantastic day.

I’m 11+ minutes and I’m loving it. I love being open minded as a Christian I want to learn more

Bart is one of the top scholars of our time

It always brings a smile to my face when Megan says thank you

[tmstani]

I'm so glad you're doing this podcast. I've been following your work for a long time and am always giddy to see a new Bart Ehrman video. I've learned so much from your work and it has drastically changed my perspective and world view. And Megan's questions are fascinating and help get to the core issues!

[wbcsh]

As usual, Bart Ehrman gives a fascinating view and explanation of the Gospels! Thank you!

[unclepain]

I look forward to these podcasts every week! Amazing information and Bart is such an great teacher. Also, are we going to talk about Megan's fantastic glasses or nah?

Over the years I have enjoyed many of Professor Herman’s lectures and performances. Indeed, he is quite knowledgeable and entertaining. I have purchased and studied his Great Courses lectures, ‘The New Testament’, and a book or two. While finding the education enlightening it fails, for me, to call into question my Christian faith. Yet, I suspect that many quarters present as if such exposition should. I’m happy to learn from Professor Ehrman as well as study and practice my belief system. Both perspectives produce no harm and should be welcomed by all in discourse.

[denacouasnon]

Thank you for sharing so much knowledge! I have never been this challenged with such thought provoking concepts. I love this podcast!

[MrArdytube]

Even though I am no longer interested in being religious… I still find Dr. Ehrman brings fascinating perspectives… which can find application in many other realms where we need to critically review claims of truth and certainty

[franklinrobinson]

I am enjoying these videos with Bart and Megan. Being interested in the historicity of the bible, these episodes hit the button for me.

[martifingers]

Expert knowledge made accessible is a public good and always valuable. Big thanks to Dr Ehrman and Megan for this conversation.

[vincentwitt]

Thanks for Revealing the Truth about these Gospels
