Why No Baptized Lions Or Talking Crosses Made It Into Your Bible
From the first century forward, Christians viewed testimony that could be connected to eyewitnesses of Jesus as uniquely authoritative.

[Read More...]G.K. Chesterton on the Historical Case for the Resurrection

Apologetics: Is It Possible that Jesus’ Body Was Left on the Cross?
The Obscenity of the Cross in the Ancient World With few exceptions, even the most skeptical scholars admit that Jesus was crucified—and with good reason.
