This video offers just one of many examples of an oft-neglected form of evidence supporting the historical reliability of the Gospels. Best known as the phenomenon of "undesigned coincidences," the idea, basically, is that details from separate accounts can match up or "interlock" with one another in a way that seems to happen by coincidence, rather than “by design”—and this type of corroboration, especially when there’s a lot of it, can build a strong case that the events in question are historically real—they actually happened! Or else, how would we explain all these minute details serendipitously fitting together, if we’re supposedly dealing with embellished legends, or even fairytales?
