Does the New Testament Give Us Reliable History?

New Testament scholar R.T. France observes, “At the level of their literary and historical character we have good reasons to treat the Gospels seriously as a source of information on the life and teaching of Jesus, and thus on the historical origins of Christianity….Beyond that point, the decision as to how far a scholar is willing to accept the record they offer is likely to be influenced more by his openness to a supernaturalist world-view than by strictly historical considerations.”

The real question is whether someone is going to reject miracles a priori or whether they will be open to actually examining the evidence on a case by case basis.
