FACTS
I’m currently working on a new paper defending the differences between the resurrection accounts in the four Gospels—why they’re not contradictions, how they function literarily and historically, and why they actually strengthen the resurrection claim rather than weaken it.
The paper will be about 2,000 words and engage the common objections skeptics and critics raise when comparing Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John side by side. My goal is to finish it before Easter.
As with my other longer-form work, this paper will be released to members first before being made available more broadly.
If you’ve followed my work on Gospel reliability and historical method, this will build directly on that foundation. More updates soon. If you haven't become a member yet, what are you waiting for?! :)

I want to personally thank our first Catechumen members for supporting the channel. You’re helping make deeper historical and textual work possible, and I don’t take that lightly.
We’re still in the early stages of this and are actively polishing things up while developing meaningful members-only content. Since this was only opened about a week ago, we appreciate your patience as we intentionally build this out before moving into more frequent members-only material. We already have several solid ideas in place, some of which I plan to present for approval to the board of trustees this Saturday. I’m excited about where this is heading and grateful you’re here at the beginning.
As this develops, we’d also love to see more people join alongside these others—your early support helps shape what this becomes, and it allows us to expand the kind of historical and textual work we’re able to offer.
