Episode  Summary:

Wintery Knight and Desert Rose discuss several lines of evidences supporting the historical reliability of the four Gospels, for example: consistency with contemporary non-Christian sources, name disambiguation, undesigned coincidences, confirmation of historical details, etc. We also discuss whether miracles are possible.

Notes:

I accidently said that the expression “clear as spiderwebs” is from Shakespeare, but it’s actually a line from Cyrano de Bergerac. I feel bad for getting this wrong! Bad WK.
