Season 3: Episode 101
How the Gospels Were Actually Written
Date Aired: 2/17/2025
This is a Biblical Time Machine first—a historical reenactment of how the gospel writers wrote (and rewrote) the books of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Our guest James Barker made his own scrolls, wax tablets, and ancient writing implements to see what the gospel-writing process was really like. It gave him all sorts of fascinating new insights into how the gospel authors worked and how they used and reused each other’s material.
