The Story of Jesus: What Is The Historical Truth? Lucas Vos Podcast #68 with Theologian Bas van Os

Bas van Os is a theologian who has written on the New Testament and the historical Jesus, as well as the Gospel of Philip (for his PhD). He incorporates history, archaeology, and psychology into his theological work. Today we discuss the story of Jesus from a historical perspective, exploring the gospels from a different point of view, in order to learn something new. I greatly enjoyed this conversation as we look forward to many more together.
