What About the "Lost" Gospels? With J. Warner Wallace — The Alisa Childers Podcast #17

Did you know that the New Testament Gospels weren't the only ancient texts written about the life of Jesus? How do we know that our biblical Gospels tell the truth about what Jesus did and said? Is the only reason we can't find these other Gospels in our Bibles because they were lost or suppressed? Is there anything we can learn from these extra-biblical accounts? I tackle these questions and more with my guest J. Warner Wallace on today's podcast.

*Correction: in the podcast I stated that there are close to 6000 manuscripts for the gospels but that is actually the number for the New Testament as a whole. Sorry for any confusion.

Wow, fantastic discussion. Wallace is a stud for sure.

It is so amazing to me to constantly be confronted with the incoherent dichotomy that exists in so many segments of our culture today. On the one hand postmodernism is constantly touted which strips people of robust objective arguments, but then people will turn around and try and use evidence as if they are coming from an empiricist vantage point, but when we argue evidentially they go right back in a circle to postmodernism.

When we point out that the evidence is bad they immediately fall back on to postmodern presuppositions to say well evidence isn't all that important and we need to think outside the box and these gospels are cool and we need to not be so binary. But when we point out that then we can point to the internal testimony of the Spirit as our primary grounds for believing in the canonical gospels and the Bible as a whole and that from a postmodern perspective there is no refuting such an approach they then tell us we are mindless fundamentalists who believe without evidence!

Good grief, I think I'm getting dizzy....
