The Gospel Narratives as History

Written by Jakob van Bruggen

Who is Jesus? A considerable amount of scholarly energy has been spent in the past century in an attempt to determine who Jesus really was. Many researchers question whether the Gospels are really historical records and seem to think of them as propaganda or after-the-fact legendary embellishments reflecting the views of the early church. In his book Christ on Earth, Reformed Christian theologian Van Bruggen asks the following questions:

What if the Gospels are essentially historical records of Jesus' life on earth?
Although it may not be possible to prove the historicity of the Gospels, is it possible, without forced harmonizations, to construct a plausible historical framework for Jesus' life using the Gospels themselves?
Can the Gospels support interpretations of the key events of Jesus' life that are compatible with what is known from other sources?

In answer to these questions, the author provides explanations that are historically, psychologically, and sociologically credible. The cumulative weight of these interpretations creates a solid argument for the historicity of the Gospels.
