How can the gospels be reliable if they were written so long after Jesus died?
But isn't it possible that the stories and accounts of Jesus' teachings were distorted over time before being written down?
That's definitely a possibility, but scholars have gone to great lengths to compare the different versions of the gospel texts to see how they may have evolved over time. There certainly are differences in the texts, but the core teachings and messages remain consistent. Additionally, the fact that the gospels were written by different authors who had their own unique perspectives provides a level of diversity and complexity that supports their authenticity.
