Mike Licona, who heads up apologetics for the North American Mission Board, has written a clear and gracious five-part response to agnostic Bible scholar Bart Ehrman and his attacks on the New Testament. The series of articles appeared last week in Baptist Press, and I am providing the links to Licona’s columns below.

Part 1: Bart Ehrman: A skeptical scholar not to be ignored

Part 2: The problem of authorship: Who wrote the Gospels?

Part 3: The problem of dating: When were the Gospels written?

Part 4: The problem of differences: Do the Gospels contradict?

Part 5: Why were the four Gospels selected and not others?
