Can Oral Tradition Preserve History? — Gospel Reliability | Session 7

Session 7 - Dr. Craig Blomberg | Historical Reliability of the Gospels

Before the Gospels were written, how was Jesus’ teaching remembered?
Would expectation of an imminent end have weakened concern for accuracy?
And did early Christian bias make reliable history impossible?

Session 7 tackles common objections to oral tradition head-on. Dr. Craig Blomberg explores whether early Christians were interested in preserving history at all, responding to claims about apocalyptic urgency, ideological distortion, and prophecy in the early church.
