Criticism of the New Testament

Criticism of the New Testament involves analyzing its historical accuracy, authorship, and how it was compiled. Scholars question whether its texts were written by the people traditionally credited and explore how translations and oral traditions might have altered original messages. Some also examine historical context to understand its messages better and identify possible biases or theological agendas. This scrutiny aims to better understand the document’s origins and meaning, without dismissing its significance to many believers.
