The Reliability of the Gospel

<p>‘Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,<br>‘Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;<br>‘It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,<br>‘That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.’<br><em>—Luke 1:1–4</em></p>
