In June 2009 three of evangelicalism’s brightest scholars gathered in Westminster Chapel, London, to give talks responding to common objections about the historicity of Jesus and the biblical record. The event was sponsored by Tyndale House in Cambridge.

The talks are now available on DVD. (Those in the UK can get the DVD here.)

The titles for the talks are below:

Dr Peter J. Williams, “Have We Got the History Right?”

A widely held idea is that Christian beliefs arose over a long period of time through a mixture of gullibility and conspiracy. Early Christian records are held to be legend, myth or fabrication.

Dr Simon J. Gathercole, “Have We Got Jesus Right?”

Probably the most popular idea in relation to the Bible is that books have been missed out or put in due to political pressure and various media have been full of talk about “other gospels.”

Dr Dirk Jongkind, “Have We Got the Text Right?”

Another popular idea is that the Bible has been corrupted, either by deliberate falsification or simply lost through passage of time. Such ideas are promoted in the British media.

Dr. Williams is Warden of Tyndale House and former Senior Lecturer in New Testament and Deputy-Head of Aberdeen University’s School of Divinity, History and Philosophy), Dr. Jongkind is Research Fellow at Tyndale House and Laing Fellow at St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge; and Dr.  Gathercole is lecturer in New Testament at Cambridge University and Fellow of Fitzwilliam College.
