A
Seven Core Questions
This course addresses seven questions that form the foundation of Christian Evidences. These are not abstract philosophical questions — they are historical questions with historical answers.
1.
Is the New Testament historically reliable?
2.
Did Jesus of Nazareth actually exist?
3.
Was Jesus crucified and did He really die?
4.
Did Jesus resurrect from the dead?
5.
Is Jesus the Son of God?
6.
Is the Bible the word of God?
7.
Is God real?
B
Why It Matters
Christianity is built on the person of Christ and His work in history. If it could ever be proven that Jesus was never alive in history, Christianity would collapse like a pack of cards.
It is far more than a philosophy — it is a redemptive system. Christianity is belief in Jesus as the Son of God who died upon the cross, was buried, and on the third day was resurrected from the dead.
C
The Course Proposition
The thing to be proven
"There is abundant evidence from historical sources which is adequate to prove that Jesus is the Son of God and the Bible is the word of God."
Note: This proposition will be restated in every lesson. By the end of the course, you will not only know it — you will understand the evidence behind it.
