When, from a strong persuasion of the great importance of the question, I thought it my duty both as a Man and a Christian to submit to public consideration my ideas of the Dissonance of the four generally received Evangelists, conscious that I stood alone, unsupported by the opinions of any learned theologians ancient or modern, and well convinced, by going to the very source of the argument myself, that all the external evidence which the case admits is so scanty and defective, that though men of great abilities and ingenuity may declaim much and write volumes and volumes upon the subject, it is not possible for them to prove the authenticity of any of the evangelical histories, upon the ground only, to the satisfaction of any candid, unprejudiced mind, I expressed my hopes, that. if any arguments, he would effect it in a manly, rational manner, by clearly reconciling the several objectionable passages, as the scriptures really exist, without recurring to any human authority or to conjectures unwarranted by the Gospels themselves.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes aim at the Gospels' traditional portrayal as accurate historical accounts. The author argues that the Gospels were written by superstitious and fabulous authors in the third and fourth centuries. Many of these original Gospels were written in Hebrew, and our New Testament Gospels are translations. The author claims that since the evangelists did not witness the events of Jesus's life and plagiarized from earlier writings, we must question their accuracy. Even the Gospel of Matthew, which the author believes is the earliest, is not exempt from scrutiny. The author also rejects the traditional claims of universal recognition of the Gospels between 64-150 AD, and argues instead that during the first century there were at least 20 gospels in circulation, and more than 40 in circulation by 140 AD.
