Summary

Suppose none of the New Testament survived to this day. Would we know anything about Jesus and his teachings? Yes, much of what we know today about Jesus and his teachings we would know even without any of the New Testament documents. How? Cold-Case Homicide Detective J. Warner Wallace joins Frank to show you how. Drawing from his amazing new book, Person of Interest, Wallace shows the unparalleled impact Jesus has had on culture in six different areas: literature, art, science, music, education, and even other world religions. To cite just one example from art, you could reconstruct the entire Gospel of Mark just from paintings and drawings done in the first several hundred years following Jesus. Wallace lays out several other examples. And the conversation is just getting started. This is just the first show on this topic. Check back in September for the next one. In the meantime, if you pre-order the book, you’ll get some free stuff that you can get nowhere else! If you want to send us a question for the show, please email us at Hello@CrossExamined.org.

0:28.0	Welcome to Cross-exemining with Dr. Frank Torek.
0:32.0	What if I were to tell you that you could burn every manuscript
0:36.1	in existence, that you could destroy every Bible in existence,
0:41.3	and you could still show basically almost everything the New Testament says about
0:48.2	Jesus by other means?
0:51.4	Well, you can do that, and in fact, you can do it in an overwhelming
