Responding to Criticism | Did Paul Really Write the Pastoral Epistles? | Redeemer Reacts

Responding to Criticism | Did Paul Really Write the Pastoral Epistles? | Redeemer Reacts In this first episode of Redeemer Reacts, Dr./Pastor Jon Benzinger and Dr. F David Farnell (Ph.D. and professor) discuss who really wrote the Pastoral Epistles. In response to challenges to their stance on women pastors, Jon and Dave defend the idea that Paul authored the Pastoral Epistles. This is a conversation about data over dogma, and there is a solid line of evidence and early church fathers backing up the claims presented in this video. Jon and Dave also take a hard look at how modern historical criticism seems to turn a blind eye to what the early church has to say. Dr. Benzinger and Dr. Farnell point to the data and call out the hidden agendas that might be trying to take down the New Testament’s authority. In the end, they’re standing firm: Paul wrote the Pastoral Epistles. Anyone saying otherwise might just be trying to mess with the authority of Scripture. Join us for this exciting dive into data vs dogma.
