When I hear arguments like those mentioned in your link, I often think about the idea of scholarly consensus.
I appreciate when Christians speak about the importance of scholarly consensus, e.g. the minimal facts regarding the argument for Jesus resurrection. However, I rarely hear those same Christians speak about the importance of scholarly consensus when the consensus differs from Christian beliefs, e.g. that Moses actually wrote the Torah, that Daniel actually wrote book of Daniel, that Isaiah actually wrote the book of Isaiah, etc.
The aforementioned Christian beliefs seem to be contradicted by by scholarly consensus opinions.
Do you agree? If so, how do these consensus opinions affect you?
thanks,
Geoff
I would want to ask if you are under the impression that we must know who wrote a book in order to conclude that it is historically trustworthy.
