Are the Gospels True?

The biblical books known as the gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – provide accounts of the life of Jesus and are essential writings of the Christian faith. Did the authors of the gospels believe they were communicating genuine information about Jesus? How much information did they have available and how well did they convey what they experienced and heard about Jesus? Join The Salon featuring renowned scholar and theologian Professor Craig Keener.

Historically, a salon was a gathering, often in a beautiful home with a skilled host, for conversation and the consideration of art and ideas. Like a tavern or café, it was where cultural, literary, philosophical, and political movements began and continued. It is an intimate place for discussion and the shaping of public values. With expressions in 16th century Italy, 17th century France and 19th century Britain, salons were gatherings around the exchange of ideas. They held, in common, respectful (though often heated and vigorous) conversation, careful consideration, an openness to something new and impactful in the public sphere.
