For those interested in the origins of the Gospels, David Pallmann has recently posted an extended YouTube video, “When Were the Gospels Written?: A Critical Examination.” Over the last several years he has posted videos arguing for Matthean Priority, Gospel reliability, and the traditional authorship of the Gospels, along with videos addressing many other important topics. These are extended treatments, and this present release is a good five-hours, so well suited for streaming at the gym. Consistent with his past videos, he leverages the writings the church fathers and demonstrates broad familiarity with contemporary scholars. There are a few points on which we differ (e.g., he holds to a Matthew-Luke-Mark-John publication order of the Gospels, while I argue for Matthew-Mark-Luke-John) and some evidence that I might downplay; regardless, this is a great video.
