The Historical Reliability Of The Gospels by Craig L. Blomberg
Evaluates whether the canonical Gospels can be trusted as historical sources, arguing that they function as ancient biographies rooted in eyewitness testimony and reliable oral tradition. It surveys authorship, dating, textual transmission, and genre; addresses apparent contradictions, miracle accounts, and differences among the narratives; and considers archaeological and extra-biblical corroboration. Using criteria of authenticity and comparative studies with Greco-Roman literature, it concludes that, though the texts are theologically shaped, they substantially preserve the life and teachings of Jesus.
