Are the Gospels Historically Accurate? // Dr. Peter Williams
Peter Williams is the Principal of Tyndale House Cambridge and a lecturer on Hebrew language at the University of Cambridge. He earned his M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge studying ancient languages related to the Bible.
In this lecture, Peter is talking to us about evidence we see through the Bible and through historical sources that the Gospels in the Bible are indeed reliable and are accurate, representing accurately what was originally written. He talks about names used, locations referenced, stories from the Gospels and many others to showcase the legitimacy and accuracy of these books.
Dr. Peter Williams is known for his debates with Bart Ehrman and his defending of the Bible through these discussions. Bart Ehrman is one of the most recognized critics of the New Testament.
Heart of a Man is a men's community based our Carmel, IN. We exist to deeply connect men with a brotherhood equally committed to learning, growing, walking through life together and deepening in faith.

Thank you again, Dr. Williams! man.... so good.
I assume the telephone game is Chinese whispers.
My view is that people who wrote those books, their intention is to glorify their hero. They have different sources. But the worst part is we don't have the originals manuscripts of any books of the Bible.

Why is the lack of the _original_ manuscripts important? How many _original_ manuscripts about any historical figure from over 500 years ago do you know of? Indeed, how many _original_ manuscripts of any history book published in the last 500 years can you point to?

(Sorry for the VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be said) Kind Sir...of course, NO English bibles are accurate; from "Gen To Rev". And this is why: The bibles began with "Hebrew to Aramaic to Greek to Latin to Manuscripts into English". And any wise Translator, would say, "It's impossible to have an English Bible, and be 100% accurate!". And to prove this...go to the Web; and seek the "GreatSite Co" of the "English Bible History". Then spend many hours; to find out of, the English Bible. And if you're a wise Christian...you WILL know; that no Bible can be accurate! Especially...if it's English. Sad, but OH So true. May Jesus be mercy. And this is why today's 2 New English Bibles* came into being; are the NASB (1972 AD); and the NIV (1973 AD). And they say; "The MOST accurate ,ever translated"! Where the NASB are translated "word by word"; while the NIV are translated "phrase by phrase"! And many say, "It's better to get the NIV; unless you are really up, on the (crazy) English language". ...in any case kind Sir and Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN! * (NASB) “New American Standard Bible”, (NIV) “New International Version”. And they have created a New "KJV" bible (NKJV 1982 AD); because the other bibles are so wanted today. Praise Jesus' Holy Name!

Most modern English Bibles are translated directly from the original Hebrew & Aramaic languages for the Old Testament and from the original Greek language for the New Testament. I don't know where you got this multi-level path from those languages to English from, but it seems you've never read the preface to whatever translation you're using.
The gospels are not biographies but theological treatises of the different authors. His use of the word "biography" is inaccurate. He's an apologist and therefore biased. His entire premise is built on sand. The gospels are not histories.

Present your evidence that they're not histories and not biographies. We, and many others, would fervently disagree with you. They're very clearly biographies around the life of Jesus at a bare minimum. All you have to do is read them to determine that much!
