Longtime Issues at Set are a guest. Dr. Paul Meyer died on February 27, 2025.

In addition to this encore, you'll find several other, a biography. I'm a big

buff of history, and it's tricky business, but is there a difference between the book I just

read on, say, the Battle of the Bulge and the New Testament in terms of their historicity?

Many people, even Christians, would say, well, maybe there is. Does the New Testament in terms of their historicity. Many people, even Christians, would say, well,

maybe there is. Does the New Testament present itself as history? Welcome back to Issues,

etc. on this Monday Thursday, the 13th of April. I'm Todd Wilkin. Thanks for tuning us in. Dr. Paul

Meyer was the keynote speaker at the 2015 issues, et cetera, making the case

conference. He's Professor Emeritus of Ancient History at Western Michigan University and author

of several books, including, in the fullness of time, a historian looks at Christmas Easter

and the early church, Josephus, the essential works, Eusebius, the church history, and his latest

publication, The Constantine

Codex.

Here's his first presentation, making the case for the historicity of the New Testament.

Thank you, wonderful people.

You know, a conference like this gives me great confidence in the future of the church.

It really does.

For you people to give up your time and go

way across the country in many cases to come to a conference like this is fabulous. The lay

people are very well involved. They are sensitive to apologetics. Sometimes, I think more so

even than our clergy, and that is really good because the faith is under heavy attack today, as you know.

But first, of course, you have to hear the pleasantry, right?
