Sean McDowell- The Historicity & Fates of the "12" Apostles

Dr. Sean McDowell is a famous biblical scholar and Christian Apologist. He is the son of legendary Christian apologist Josh McDowell but Sean stands out on his own as a world’s expert in the area of the historicity of the “12” Apostles of Jesus.

In his incredible book, The Fate of the Apostles: Examining the Martyrdom Accounts of the Closest Followers of Jesus, Sean offers a comprehensive, reasoned, historical analysis of the fate of the twelve disciples of Jesus along with the apostles Paul, and James. McDowell assesses the evidence for each apostle’s martyrdom as well as determining its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The question of the fate of the apostles also gets to the heart of the reliability of the kerygma: did the apostles really believe Jesus appeared to them after his death, or did they fabricate the entire story? How reliable are the resurrection accounts? The willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular argument in resurrection studies and McDowell offers insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new ground within the spheres of New Testament studies, Church History, and apologetics.

Sean was kind enough to come on my Podcast and share some of his insights with the audience.

Enjoy 😊
