When Were Our Gospels Written?

This nineteenth‑century pamphlet tackles one of Christianity’s most enduring questions: when the four Gospels were actually composed. Drawing on the extensive research of a renowned biblical scholar, it outlines the arguments traditionally used to defend the texts’ authenticity while also exposing the methodological challenges that scholars have uncovered. Listeners will hear a clear, step‑by‑step look at the evidence that early church writers and modern critics bring to the debate.

Published by a freethought organization eager to make scholarly debate accessible, the work also reflects the heated polemics of its era, pitting evangelical defenders against skeptical readers. It weaves together personal anecdotes of manuscript discoveries, references to international editions, and the surprising endorsement of even high‑ranking religious figures. The result is a compelling snapshot of Victorian‑era scholarship that invites you to consider how historical investigation can reshape long‑held beliefs.
