Unraveling the Bible's Origins: Dating the New Testament

Welcome to this episode of Faith Chapel podcast, hosted by Pastor Jason. In this session, we delve into the dating of New Testament books, focusing on the early Christian views of Jesus's divinity, His crucifixion, and resurrection. The evidence suggests that these core beliefs were established within decades of Jesus's life, challenging modern skepticism about the evolution of Christian doctrine.

We analyze the gospel of Mark and the letter to the Galatians, exploring their historical contexts and evaluating scholarly debates on authorship and dates of composition. These investigations aim to reaffirm the early Christians' perception of Jesus and the solid foundation of the New Testament scriptures they trusted.

Pastor Jason addresses controversies like Bart Ehrman's perspective on Jesus's divinity, providing evidence from the earliest Christian documents to confront the claim that the portrayal of Jesus as God emerged as a legend. This episode, filled with thoughtful discussions, offers a robust defense of the traditional understanding of biblical narratives.

Join us as we continue to explore the profound impact of the New Testament's historical development on modern faith, leading into our next topic: the canonization process of the New Testament.
