Christian apologetics
Christianity makes historical claims, and historical claims can be examined. Manuscript evidence, the resurrection, fulfilled prophecy, the reliability of the Gospels — presented with sources you can check, at a level you can use in a real conversation.
1 Peter 3:15Did Jesus rise from the dead? The minimal-facts case
Set aside inspiration, inerrancy, and everything else in dispute. Build only on the handful of facts scholars across the spectrum — including critics — broadly grant, and see which explanation is left standing.
→Can you trust the New Testament? Part 1: The manuscripts
Skeptics say the text was corrupted over centuries of copying. The manuscript evidence says otherwise — and it is not close. What we can actually know about what the apostles wrote.
→Does archaeology confirm the Bible? Ten finds that touch the spade to the text
Kings once dismissed as legend, cities once thought invented, officials the Gospels name — pulled out of the ground. What archaeology can and can't prove, and ten finds that meet the Bible where it makes checkable claims.
→The machine in the cell: does life look designed?
Rotary motors, error-correcting code, and a molecular alphabet — the facts of the living cell are not in dispute. Whether they point to a Designer is the argument. A careful look at the design inference, and where honest people disagree.
→Prophecy fulfilled and prophecy pending: reading the future without the hype
The Bible stakes its credibility on prediction. Some prophecies are clearly fulfilled, some are debated, and some are still ahead — and the difference between sober reading and date-setting sensationalism is a matter of honesty. A classified survey.
