Two Claims to the Aunthenticity of the Gospels

          Sometimes Protestant scholar try to misguide people with regard to the historicity of the Synoptic gospels. They put forward their claim that authentic proofs of the originality of the present gospels existed during the first and the second centuries AD, by reason of the fact that Clement and Ignatius testified to their presence.

          The second claim advanced by them is that Mark wrote his gospel with the help of Peter while Luke wrote his gospel with the help of Paul. Since both Peter and Paul were men of inspiration, the above two gospels are also divinely inspired books.

           It would seem to be our duty to examine the validity of these two misguiding claims, each one separately, in the light of available historical data and general human logic.
