Gospel anonymity is a fairly widespread claim, but if we look at the evidence we can see that it's a theory that just isn't supported by what we find. This video draws on ancient manuscripts and the writings of those in the early days of Christianity to show that the claims are simply unfounded.

Apologies if my voice sounds especially croaky, I was recovering from a flu while recording.
