General reliability of the Gospels and Acts as a fourth argument

A Bunch Of Reasons Christianity Is True: special guest Jonathan McLatchie 00:55:27 – 00:56:30

Winger and McLatchie introduce the general historical reliability of the Gospels and Acts as an additional, related argument.

Historically reliable documents cannot simply have their miraculous content stripped out and still be treated as reliable history — to do so is to assume the conclusion (methodological naturalism). Extra-biblical corroboration (from Josephus, Tacitus, etc.) supports specific details in the Gospels and Acts, adding historical credibility to the documents.
