Were the disciples of Jesus who wrote the New Testament biased?
Nikkivoorhees
Only in so much as eyewitnesses can be said to be biased.
Previously, they were biased against the Resurrection since they did not believe it was possible for a crucified man to rise. This bias was overcome when they witnessed His risen body.
The disciples had nothing to gain and everything - including their lives - to lose by recording and preaching their experiences so being biased or prejudiced was not of any benefit to them.
