  • Set I: Reasons for Faith

  • Is belief in God, the Jesus is the Son of God, or the Bible the Word of God an irrational leap in the dark as many non-believers maintain? Or is there enough evidence to make faith a leap into the direction set by the light? The five lectures in this set provide some of the classic arguments to address these questions.

    Lecture Five - Case For The Resurrection: Can You Prove that Christ Was Raised From the Dead?
  • Set II: Objections to Faith

    Many objections to faith, new and old, circulate in our culture. What are some of the most crucial issues to face? Was Jesus married? Are the Gnostic Gospels to be taken seriously? Was Jesus’ Deity invented? Why is there so much evil? Is Christ the only way? Is belief in God a fantasy? How can we speak about our faith in this culture? The five lectures in this set address these important questions.

  • Set III: Responding to Atheism

    Atheism is experiencing something of a resurgence today and is aggressively attacking Christian faith in the Western world. In these lectures we draw significantly on the thinking of C.S. Lewis, one of the most famous converts from atheism to Christianity. Some of the enduring insights that led him from atheism to faith will provide help in responding to the new atheists of our day.
