These episodes share a recording of the March 2023 Gospel Gathering with Dr. Craig Keener on “The Historical Reliability of the Gospels.” Keener shares with pastors and faith leaders in Portland, Oregon about the genre of Christobiography and why understanding the biographical genre of the time is important to understanding the credibility of the Gospels. Plus, a special bonus episode on Keener’s experience at Asbury during what many people called a great revival.
