This episode is all about Soul. That’s because Garrick and Timothy recently headed to the theaters to watch the Soul movie, a new cinematic feature produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. And by “headed to the theaters,” what they mean is that each of them headed downstairs to their respective home theaters, where […]

Apologetics: An Overlooked Difference between the New Testament Gospels and Gnostic Gospels

19th November 2019

Richard Bauckham points out a distinction between the New Testament Gospels and most of the Gnostic Gospels which—while rather obvious when one reads the Gnostic Gospels—is frequently overlooked: The [New Testament] Gospels are biographical narratives whereas most of the Gnostic Gospels are post-resurrection revelations. Typically in Gnostic Gospels Jesus appears to the disciples after the […]

Apologetics: New Heresies Are Rarely New

6th November 2017

At least once or twice every year—usually around Christmas and Easter—popular magazines and blogs seem to go out of their way to locate some shocking fact that supposedly debunks what Christians believe about Jesus. In most cases, these supposedly-shocking data are recycled from one of the many failed quests for the historical Jesus that have ebbed and […]

Church History: What Happened after the Apostles Died?

21st October 2012

By the end of the first century, Roman persecutions were dogging God’s people from the outside, and false teachings from people who claimed to be Christians were hounding the church from within. The Ebionites said that Jesus was a human Messiah but not the divine Lord. Most Gnostics, on the other hand, depicted Jesus as […]

Apologetics: How The Gospel of Jesus’s Wife May Have Been Forged

22nd September 2012

Earlier this week, I mentioned that the news of the fragment known as Gospel of Jesus’s Wife will end “quite possibly with the revelation that the fragment was a forgery in the first place.” My rationale for this suspicion was and is insufficient to advance any sort of argument.

Apologetics: Why the Singleness of Jesus Makes the Best Sense of the Evidence

20th September 2012
