Who wrote the gospels? Why were they written anonymously?

By Steven Masood on

A Muslim reader wrote: Who wrote the gospels? Why were they written anonymously? You can't defend Christianity at all. The following is our response.

Christianity does not rest on nameless, late legends. The Gospels are rooted in historical eyewitness testimony, written within the lifetime of those who saw Jesus, preserved faithfully, and confirmed by the early church, who knew the authors personally. My response to your two questions is as follows.

A Biblical Response to Secular Humanism

By Steven Masood on

Secular humanism is a worldview that asserts humanity's ability to be moral and self-fulfilling without belief in God. It champions human reason, science, and ethics while rejecting divine revelation, absolute truth, and supernatural authority. From a biblical perspective, this worldview presents a direct challenge to the truth of Scripture and the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

A Biblical Response to the Islamic View on Crucifixion of Jesus

By Steven Masood on

Islam, based on the Qur’an, Sura 4:157, denies that Jesus was crucified, claiming instead that it was made to appear so, and that Jesus was taken up to God without being killed. In contrast, the Bible consistently affirms Jesus’ crucifixion, death, and resurrection as central to the Gospel.

As Christians, we believe in the historical death and resurrection of Jesus not only because eyewitnesses recorded it, but also because it fulfills the prophecies and forms the foundation of God's plan to redeem humanity.
