G.A. Wells has consistently taken a controversial position, arguing that very little is known about a historical figure named Jesus. This work focuses on the New Testament book, Acts of the Apostles, and investigates how much - or how little - we really know about Peter and Paul.
Can We Trust the New Testament? questions the historical accuracy of widely held views of early Christianity. In this book radical Bible scholar G. A. Wells examines Biblical accounts of the lives of the apostles Peter and Paul and presents evidence that the events described in the New Testament were written over time to support the agendas of the Christian church. He embarks on a close analysis of the Book of Acts, questioning its authorship and casting doubt on the events it and the gospels describe.
