Why biblical contradictions still matter — and what they reveal about early Christianity
Overview:
Monty Python editor and biblical historian Julian Doyle argues that Life of Brian may offer a more historically accurate account of Jesus’ life than the Bible itself. In this sharp and entertaining article, he dissects inconsistencies in the Gospels — including the differing accounts of Jesus meeting his disciples — and explores how later edits to the New Testament shaped the version of Christianity we know today. Drawing on lesser-known texts and overlooked evidence, Doyle presents a compelling case for re-examining the foundations of Christian tradition.
