| Summary |
"When Were Our Gospels Written?" by Charles Bradlaugh is a critical examination of the authenticity and credibility of the four Gospels, written in the late 19th century. This scientific publication aims to explore the timeframe in which the Gospels were composed while addressing the implications for Christianity, particularly the validity of its core narratives. Bradlaugh's work emerges during a period marked by growing skepticism of religious texts and the advent of modern biblical criticism. In this pamphlet, Bradlaugh scrutinizes the arguments presented by Dr. Tischendorf, an advocate for the traditional authenticity of the Gospels. He argues that the Gospels are riddled with contradictions and historical inaccuracies that undermine their reliability. Focusing on crucial elements such as the birth narratives, genealogies of Jesus, and accounts of his resurrection, Bradlaugh presents alternative interpretations and raises doubts about the motivations and accuracy of the Gospel authors. Through this analysis, he seeks to reveal the underlying inconsistencies and challenges faced by proponents of the Gospel's veracity, emphasizing the need for critical scrutiny of foundational religious texts.
