The first is the &#8220;conservatives,&#8221; who study the New Testament and are believers. That\u2019s why they consider the Bible to be the word of God and take it as true from the outset. The second group is the &#8220;liberal&#8221; or &#8220;critical&#8221; scholars, who are ready to question every piece of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: I bet most scholars are &#8220;conservatives.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli: Exactly! This group represents the overwhelming majority of New Testament scholars, about 90%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: See! Then these proofs are useless! It\u2019s obvious that most scholars will always agree that the Bible tells the truth. That\u2019s because they base it on their faith!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli: Of course, the author wouldn\u2019t have even written this book if he hadn\u2019t taken that point into account.
