There are many good reasons why our New Testament has the exact books God wanted us to read.

Here I look at the cumulative evidence for the gospels being eyewitness testimony with an emphasis on a fairly new study of what are called “interlocking gospels.”

We often read a small portion of the Bible ( a verse or a chapter) without really understanding its history, geography, cultural setting, and literary qualities. In this presentation I try to help everyone understand the reality of the Bible–it took place in a real setting with real people.

We take a look at five popular Christian interpretations of Genesis–young-earth, old-earth, theistic evolution, analogic, and framework. To be fair, we examine both the strengths and weaknesses of all five.

Some accuse Christians of distorting Old Testament passages so the verses sound like they are referring to Jesus. But is that true? One way to examine this charge is to see how the Jews themselves regard these passages.

Critics say Jesus may have lived, but he was just another mortal prophet whose followers hundreds of years later turned him into the Son of God, the resurrected savior.  But there are ancient creeds and hymns in Paul’s letters that tell a different story.

Many critics today attack the New Testament gospels as unreliable–not written by eyewitnesses, written late in the first century, only a handful of many gospels selected by the church in a power play, full of variations that make it impossible to determine the original meanings, . . . We examine these charges and others to see how reliable the gospels are.

Of course Christians read their Bibles for its theological content. But so many people are biblically illiterate; they don’t read the Bible because they only think of it in theological terms. But the Bible has value for all of us, not just Christians. In this video we look at six reasons everyone should read this cornerstone book of the Western world..
