Recently a Logic & Light reader asked if there was one place from which they could access the entire “Busted” article series. In response to that request, we pulled together this page. It provides links to all 14 articles in the series.
For those who aren’t familiar with this series, here’s a quick overview. Critics are fond of saying that the Gospels are full of obvious errors that render them unreliable as historical documents. They ask, “If Luke (or John or Matthew or Mark) can’t get their basic facts straight, then how can we rely on them for huge claims like Jesus’ resurrection?”
Well, it’s a fair question. What’s not fair are the things that often get trotted out as “obvious errors.” In fact, those alleged errors typically turn out not to be errors at all. In the Busted series, we took a sample of the critics’ favorite “errors” and looked a little deeper.
Below are links to all 14 articles.
