Lydia McGrew Answered! Are the Gospels Greco-Roman Biographies?

Part 2 in a series of 8. Mike Licona reviews Lydia McGrew's criticisms in her book "The Mirror or the Mask." In this video, Mike addresses McGrew's contentions that the Gospels are not affiliated with Greco-Roman biography. 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.
