Why The Gospels Could Not Be Legends

J.D. Greear:

The most popular theory today against the Bible is that the gospels are a bunch of myths and legends. As the theory goes, Jesus was a great guy with some commendable teachings, but the stories we have about him in the four gospels are made-up legends intended to beef up Christianity’s claims.

Entire books have been written on this, but here are 4 brief reasons the gospels simply could not be fabricated legends

1. The timing of the writing is too early for gospels to be a legend.

2. The content is far too counterproductive to be a legend.

3. The literary form of gospels is too detailed to be legend.

4. The message was itself too costly to be a legend.
