Mike interviews Dr. Peter Williams (principal of Tyndale House Cambridge) about his book "Can We Trust the Gospels?" The approach: rather than proving individual claims, show that the hypothesis of reliable reporting is far simpler than the hypothesis of fabrication. Two competing explanations — reliable accounts vs complex conspiracy — and the data overwhelmingly favors reliability.

Dr. Peter Williams: PhD Cambridge, principal of Tyndale House, lecturer in Hebrew. His approach is inference to the best explanation: one outrageous hypothesis (Jesus is God in human flesh) explains all the data simply, while rejecting the gospels requires increasingly complex ad hoc hypotheses for each data point. Not mathematical proof but sufficient evidence for trust.
