The Real Jesus - Refuting the Myths (David Lutweiler 1 of 4)

http://therealjesus.com David Lutweiler describes the German Higher Criticism as an attack on the authenticity of the Gospels. The Higher Critics described the biblical Jesus as a person as a person who never existed in favor of a "Historical Jesus." One of the most gifted biblical scholars ever to come out of Yale University, John Henry Ludlum, examined the writings of Julius Wellhausen and the German Critics in the original German. He began to see that the liberals had no case. They no documents, no evidence, no archaeological artifacts, but simply described a scenario by which the history of Israel and the New Testament writings could have taken place by simply making it up. Ludlum then began to see the case for the authenticity of the New Testament and adopted the conservative evangelical view. He is like many brilliant scholars who still believe in the authenticity of the New Testament documents and the divinity of Jesus Christ.
