A series of brief videos providing examples of undesigned coincidences was recently posted to Lydia McGrew's YouTube channel. It's a good introduction to the subject. You can click on each of the video links below. For a book-length treatment, go here.
One: What An Undesigned Coincidence Is
Two: Destroy This Temple
Three: Did Jesus Need GPS?
Four: Do You Love Me More Than These?
Five: How Did King David Lose One Of His Best Friends?
Six: I Am Among You As One Who Serves
Seven: So, You're A King?
Eight: The Feeding Of The 5000
Nine: The Nazareth Inscription
Ten: Was Paul A Slacker?
Eleven: Was Timothy Jewish Or Greek?
Twelve: What Happens When You Try To Lay A Trap For Jesus?
Thirteen: What Herod Said To His Servants
Fourteen: Why Is It Hard To Get Churches Interested In Apologetics?
Fifteen: Why Would Jesus Be Rude?
Yep, there are more of these videos coming. A total of about 15 very short, professionally-produced videos were made in 2018 and just sent to us recently. Most are about undesigned coincidences. I have them scheduled to appear on Mondays and Fridays until they are all up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for providing this!
ReplyDeleteI just got her book and am reading through it now, very interesting stuff!
ReplyDeleteI wonder, though...in the case of something like John's "he came before me", it indicates that this saying of the Baptist is dependent on Luke. But couldn't a critic just say that John was bolting his material onto an earlier tradition? In other words, if John the Evangelist was supposedly making this up, what if he had already heard of or was aware of the Lucan tradition concerning Elizabeth and Mary?
