Historian Durant: “In the enthusiasm of its discoveries the Higher Criticism has applied to the New Testament tests of authenticity so severe that by them a hundred ancient worthies—e.g., Hammurabi, David, Socrates—would fade into legend.”

Certainly worth repeating.

Only the records of Jesus can't be trusted? What lengths some people will go to to deny Him.

’More than one liberal/Marxist on Free Republic has put me on their “will not talk to wintertime list.”’
