Dr. Lydia McGrew is a widely published analytic philosopher, home schooling mother, author, and the wife of philosopher and apologist Timothy McGrew. She received her PhD in English from Vanderbilt University in 1995. She has published extensively in the theory of knowledge, specializing in formal epistemology and in its application to the evaluation of testimony and to the philosophy of religion. She is the author of Hidden in Plain View: Undesigned Coincidences in the Gospels and Acts, which defends the reliability of the New Testament using a long-neglected argument from incidental details. Her new book, The Mirror or the Mask: Liberating the Gospels From Literary Devices provides further evidence for the robust historicity of the Gospels.
