Were the Gospels Anonymous? The Earliest Manuscripts Say No!

Description

Were the Gospels originally anonymous? Some say the names Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were ADDED LATER by the church to give authority to otherwise nameless documents. Sounds persuasive—until you look at the actual evidence.

In this video, Mr. B responds to the common claim that the Gospels had no original titles or authors. With help from biblical scholars like Simon Gathercole and Brant Pitre, he shows what the earliest New Testament manuscripts really say about Gospel authorship.

Spoiler: The names weren’t added later. They were there from the start.
