Drum Roll Please: Greg’s Final Critique of Bart Ehrman’s Article
This is the ninth and final of several videos Greg put together to refute Bart Ehrman’s claims published in the article What Do We Really Know About Jesus? Thanks for hanging in there for this last one. I know it was a long wait, but the holidays got inordinately busy for Greg. In this segment, Greg talks about the star of Bethlehem.

If you missed the first eight installments you can find them here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

The Center of the Bible
Over the past few posts, we’ve been discussing various aspects of the Bible’s authority.
