Bible prophecy checked against the historical record

Roman

  • John

    So different from the other three in chronology, idiom and content that harmonising is not an option. Two endings, and a famous passage the earliest manuscripts do not have.

  • Luke

    A formal preface, a two-volume work with Acts, and a census in chapter 2 that remains a real and unresolved historical difficulty.

  • Mark

    The shortest Gospel, earliest on the majority view, and the book with the most important textual fact in the New Testament attached to its final page.

  • Matthew

    Jewish framing, five discourses, fulfilment formulas — and a dating argument that turns on a single verse about a burnt city.
