The New Testament stands on solid historical ground. It wasn’t written centuries later, after facts had faded—it was written by people who either witnessed Jesus’ life or knew those who did. This close connection to the events strengthens the credibility of the message. If the authors had made false claims, there were still plenty of people alive who could have refuted them.
Instead, the early church grew in strength and conviction. The truth about Jesus was preserved, not because of myth, but because of memory—faithfully written down by trustworthy men inspired by God.
