When Were Our Gospels Written?

When Were Our Gospels Written? by Charles Bradlaugh launches a provocative challenge to accepted timelines and claims of gospel authenticity that defined 19th‑century debates. This concise non‑fiction work of religious criticism and historical inquiry examines arguments over the dating and genuineness of the four Gospels, engaging with contemporaneous defenders like Constantine Tischendorf and the broader responses from freethinkers such as Annie Besant. Bradlaugh frames his analysis against the rise of modern biblical criticism and works like Supernatural Religion, weighing textual evidence, authorship claims, and the credibility of traditional narratives. Clear and direct, the pamphlet sketches the key lines of argument used by apologists and skeptics alike, offering readers a window into Victorian controversies about scripture, historical method, and faith. Ideal for listeners drawn to religious history, biblical criticism, or the freethought movement, this audiobook provides a compact, spirited introduction to enduring questions about how and when the Gospels reached their written form. Listen for a brisk, historically grounded critique that still resonates for anyone exploring the foundations of Christian scripture and the history of skeptical inquiry.
