Lydia McGrew Answered! Conclusion

The final video in a series of 8. Mike Licona reviews Lydia McGrew's criticisms in her book "The Mirror or the Mask." In this video, Mike summarizes what he perceives are the problems with McGrew's approach. He then suggests what lay at the root of the disagreement and some ways forward.

Lydia McGrew has been criticizing New Testament scholars in general and, especially Mike Licona's book "Why Are There Differences in the Gospels? What We Can Learn From Ancient Biography" (New York: OUP, 2017). Because Mike usually has no interest in "in-house theological debates," he has refused to respond for the past few years. However, the division this in-house debate is causing in the Body of Christ and the many continuous requests he has received to reply to McGrew has led to his decision to offer this response.
