For decades, scholars have claimed that ancient birth narratives were never meant to be taken as history. Then one scholar went and actually read them.
New Testament scholar Caleb Friedeman tested that claim against the ancient biographers themselves, and what he found in their own writing doesn't fit the story we've been told.
🔓 Members get the full unedited interview with Caleb, including Shelby's pushback on whether these stories are too beautiful to be real. faithlab.supercast.com

What is Faith Lab?
What if Christianity could handle your toughest questions?
Most Christians have never heard the depth of evidence that exists for the faith they already hold. Faith Lab changes that. Every episode, scholars like N.T. Wright and Tim Mackie explain what they've spent their careers studying about Jesus, the Bible, and the origins of Christianity, in conversations you can actually follow.
Hosted by Nate and Shelby Hanson. Nate spent years in ministry alongside Francis Chan before a season of deconstruction led him to question everything. What brought him back wasn't blind faith. It was the scholarship.
