AuthenticityofSacredWrit

"Enquirer,"Leederville,writes:

"IhaveaJewishfriend.From timetotimewediscussreligion.Myfriendagreesthat onlyGodcouldraisethedead tolife.Thedifficulty,then, istoprovethatChristreally rosefromthedead. Iknow thehistoricalevidence,for thiscannothecontroverted.It isanothermattertoputit completelyandconvincingly."

A.:Thedifficultywouldseem toprovetheveracityandauthenticityoftheGospelsashistoricaldocumentsfirstofall. Thereisnotmuchpointinusing theGospelstoryasevidenceunlesswearepreparedtotakethe Gospelstoryasareliableand truthfulrecordofhistory. mightmentionbeforeIgiveyou anoutlineoftheproofsthatno seriousscholarofto-daydoubts thefactthattheGospelsaswe knowthemaretrueandfaithful copiesofbookswhichdatefrom theChristianera.Whenthatis accepted,thefurtherquestion arises:Howfarcanwetrustthe writers?Now,withregardto thegenuineantiquityoftheGospels,thereisnootherportionof ancientliteraturethatcancomparewiththeGospelsinwealth ofmanuscriptsources,orinthe 1,:ghorderandaccuracyofthe manuscripts.TheGospelswere originallywritteninGreek,with theexceptionoftheGospelofSt. Matthew,whichwaswrittenfixst inAramaicandtranslatedinto Greek.WhenChristianitycame intocontactwithLatin-speaking peoples,theGospelsweretrans-

latedintoLatin.Therearein existenceapproximately2,500 manuscriptsoftheGospelsin Greek,andsomethinglike8,000 inLatin.Now,itistheconsideredopinionofexpertsthatsome ofthesemanuscriptsgobackto thefourthcentury,anditis worthmentioningherethatthe oldestmanuscriptsoftheclassicalauthorsarefourorfivenundredyearslater.Beforethe useofvellumorparchment, writtenrecordsweremadeon papyrus,amaterialwhichdidnot survivethepassageoftime. However,asetofpapyrusfragments,theremainsofacomplete Bible,wasdiscoveredinEgypt. Thesefragmentshavebeenassignedbyalltheauthoritiesto thethirdcentury.However, evenapartfromthislatestevidenceoftheearlyoriginofthe Gospels,Harnack,writingears!: thiscentury,placedthedatesof theGospelsasfollows:St.Matthew,70AD.;St.Mark,65A.D., St.Luke,67A.D.,andSt.John, 95A.D.Theconclusiontobe drawnisthattheGospelswere writteninthegenerationwhich sawtheeventsnarrated. Thenextstepistoprovethat thestorytheytellistrueand notafabricationoftheauthors. Inotherwords,istheaccount givenatrustworthyaccount?On afirstreadingeven,itishardto conceivehowtheauthorscould haveinventedeitherthecharacterortheteachingofChrist.It isnotmerelybecauseHeisrepresentedasgreaterorholier ormorepowerfulthananyman inhistory,butbecauseHeisso

entirelydifferent.TheJewsexpectedaMessiah,itistrue,but sodifferentwasChristfrom whattheyhadcometoexpect thattheydidnotacceptHim.If ChristwasanimpostororifHe wasamereinventionofHisbio graphers,woulditnothavebeen easierforHim,orasthecase maybe,forthem,tofallinwith theexpectationsoftheJews?

Again,thewritersnotonlyrepresentedChristandthemselves inapoorlight,theywentfurther andevenbroughtpersecution uponthemselves.Now,ifthey weretryingtoperpetratea fraud,surelyitwouldhavebeen forsomepersonalgain.Inthe courseofevents,theywereall calledupontogivetheirlivesfor whattheypreached.Finally, theGospelsspreadandwontheir wayeverywhere.Enemiesand criticstherewerewhocould haveandwouldhaverefutedthe Gospelstoryhaditbeenfalse. Thoughtherewaspersecution, therewasnorefutation.Ifthe Gospelstoryisfalse,thenalie andafraudhaschangedthehistoryoftheworld.Thereasonableexplanationis,ofcourse, thatthestoryoftheGospelswas acceptedanditsteachingacted uponbecausethestorywastrue andhadevidenceinsupportthat broughtconviction;thatthereligionsetforthintheGospelsprevailedinsuchanunexpectedway becauseitcamefromGod;that JesusChristbecametheheadof anempirethelikeofwhichthe worldhasnotknownbecauseHe wasintruthwhattheGospels putHimforwardtobe.
