  • Jesus: Legendary Hero or Real Man?
    Surely, it's the most extraordinary story ever told. Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, came to earth and sacrificed himself so that we mortals might have eternal life. Fact? or fiction? One compelling bit of evidence strongly suggests it is indeed a fact. But churches will never mention it!

  • How Reliable Are the Gospels?
    Jesus was a historical figure. Modern historians and scholars agree. That tells us something, but not a whole lot. Davy Crockett was a real man too.

Did the Gospel writers take the real man, Jesus of Nazareth, and embellish him with such things as a virgin birth, miracles, and resurrection? Let's check it out!
