Abstract

In this study, moderately conservative Christian university students were asked if they believed that the Bible was without error or inconsistencies. They were then presented with the four (inconsistent) Gospel accounts of the resurrection. The vast majority (92.5%) of Christians who originally said there were no inconsistencies altered their beliefs.
