Talk:New Testament/2006

Non believers of the Bible tend to deface it & create bias comments.


 * Wow; don't shout. Feel free to work within Wikipedia's policies to bring about whatever changes to the article you believe are needed.
 * It shouldn't be that big a deal, as it shouldn't be news to any Bible believer that non-believers don't believe it, and don't like it. You act like you've never seen that before (assuming it is in the article). Jdavidb (talk &bull; contribs) 18:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

There is a great disparity between Christian scholarship and secular scholarship regarding the New Testament. As editors, we must walk that line.

On one hand, wikipedia shouldn't treat faith-based mythology as the truth. For that reason, authorship of the most NT works must be acknowledged as anonymous, and possibly written as late as c. 140 AD.

On the other hand, we must not slip into anti-Christian propaganda (such as the unfounded assertion the Gospels were all written in the second century or that the NT has no historical value).

Be careful, everyone. And be nice.
