Evangelical Philosophical Society Conference 2010 - November 18-20

Sessions and Tracks

Before the Gospels were written, How Reliable Were the Oral Traditions About Jesus?

This session will explore how information was passed on in antiquity, especially by disciples of teachers. It will also show how biographies written as long after their subjects as the Gospels were about Jesus normally relied on plentiful information. Even from a secular historical perspective, why should the Gospels be less accurate than comparable figures, apart from anti-biblical prejudices?

Presenting at this session:

• Dr. Craig Keener - Palmer Theological Seminary, Eastern University

This is part of Breakout Sessions: Thursday Evening.
