The Gospels & History

A generation ago, the historicity of the gospels was a hot topic with skeptics. Apologists like Josh McDowell wrote popular books on the subject, which sold like hot cakes. Then post-modernism took a grip, and no-one really cared very much about historicity anymore. But I've seen some recent indications that this is changing, and that the historicity question is becoming a live topic once again. Christians really need to be across this stuff again. The great difference to a generation ago is that now we have the internet, and heaps of the source material is now online. Interesting times ahead...
