Take 2 Theology - Can We Trust the New Testament?
Description
Episode 2.36
Texts, Myths, and Manuscripts
Is the New Testament historically trustworthy—or just a rewritten patchwork of pagan myths? In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael respond to online critics who claim the Bible is unreliable and Jesus is just a recycled myth.
Covered in this episode:
– What do textual variants actually show?
– How do the Dead Sea Scrolls impact our confidence in Scripture?
– How was the New Testament canon formed—and does it hold up under scrutiny?
– Are the popular “copycat messiah” claims (Horus, Mithras, Dionysus, etc.) grounded in truth or internet fiction?
Drawing from respected scholars like Bart Ehrman, N.T. Wright, and Ronald Nash, this episode unpacks the facts and clears the fog—so you can know what the Bible really is and why it still stands.
