America needs defenders of truth, and Dr. Craig Evans showed up this week to do exactly that. The distinguished New Testament scholar sat down with Gordon Robertson on The 700 Club to talk about his involvement in a new CBN Films project, Oracles of God: The Story of the New Testament, and why the historic reliability of Scripture still matters in a country under cultural assault.
Oracles of God is rolling into theaters November 2, 3, and 5, bringing scholarly testimony, archaeology, and reenactment to crowds hungry for answers about the origins of the Gospels. This isn’t Hollywood liberal revisionism; it’s a concerted effort to show Americans the evidence that the New Testament was written, preserved, and circulated with extraordinary care by the earliest Christians.
Dr. Evans isn’t a lightweight pundit; he’s a seasoned academic with decades of work on the Gospels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and New Testament archaeology, and he brings that credibility into the film and into the public square. When conservative institutions and churches are mocked by coastal elites for defending the Bible, it’s scholars like Evans who push back with facts, manuscripts, and a lifetime of research — not slogans.
This documentary arrives at a crucial moment. Polling and reporting show renewed curiosity about the Bible across younger generations, and CBN is banking on that hunger to pierce the noise of a media landscape that often treats faith as quaint or suspect. If you believe America’s cultural revival depends on truth-telling and moral clarity, then you should welcome a well-produced, evidence-driven film that restores confidence in the Scriptures.
Evans and other experts make a sober, unapologetic case: manuscripts, early citations, and archaeology point to a New Testament rooted in the generations closest to Jesus, not centuries of made-up legend. That kind of evidence matters in a time when universities and Big Tech too often push relativism and erase the historical underpinnings of Western civilization. The film weapons the facts against the fashionable doubt of our elites and hands the American people a reasoned defense of faith.
Hardworking Americans who love this country and its Judeo-Christian foundations should make it a point to see this film, bring their families, and talk about what the Bible means for our national life. Call your local theater, get a ticket for November, and stand with scholars who refuse to let truth be gaslit into silence. The culture war for truth is real, and this film is one more front where patriots can show up and win.
