Do the Gnostic Gospels Hold Up Under Scrutiny? — Gospel Reliability | Session 13

Session 13 - Dr. Craig Blomberg | Historical Reliability of the Gospels

Once we apply the same tests to the non-canonical gospels, how do they fare?
Do they compete historically with Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John?
Or do they collapse under closer examination?

After introducing the apocryphal and gnostic gospels earlier in the course, Dr. Craig Blomberg now evaluates them by a broader set of historical criteria. This session asks how those texts compare on issues like authorship, dating, ideology, genre, and their treatment of Jesus’ humanity—and why they still fail to rival the canonical Gospels.
