Who is Luke’s Key Witness? with Shane Rosenthal

﻿

How much do we really know about the “most excellent Theophilus,” and why did Luke dedicate both his Gospel and the Book of Acts to him? The answer might come from an unexpected source—one that’s supported by archaeology, literary structure, and a series of “undesigned coincidences.” In this paradigm-shifting episode of ‘I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist’, we explore a groundbreaking new theory that could revolutionize your understanding of Luke’s Gospel.

This week, Frank welcomes Shane Rosenthal—host of The Humble Skeptic podcast and author of, ‘Luke’s Key Witness‘—to uncover fresh discoveries that some New Testament scholars haven’t even encountered yet. Together, they dive into Shane’s investigation and the growing body of evidence that supports his theory behind who he believes to be one of the main eyewitnesses of Jesus’ resurrection. Join Frank and Shane as they explore questions like:

Who could be the surprising key eyewitness behind Luke’s remarkably detailed accounts (including the Resurrection of Jesus) and what evidence supports this claim?

Why were ancient Christians hesitant to rely on the testimony of women?

What is a chiastic structure, and how does it give us a deeper understanding of Scripture?

Why are scholars re-dating the Gospel of John?

What paradigm shift is underway in New Testament scholarship?

Is faith blind, and why does Shane call his podcast, ‘The Humble Skeptic’?
