How Do We Know the Bible Is True? (History and Evidence)


How Do We Know the Bible Is True?

Hi Reader,

How do we know the Bible is true? Many people say the Gospels are just legends that changed in the retelling. In this week’s 12-minute walkthrough, I show why the New Testament holds up historically: outside evidence from Roman and Jewish writers, whether the Gospels read like history or myth, and why “memory failure” or hoax theories don’t fit the facts.

We’ll also look at names, places and geography the writers get right, how the Gospels compare with other ancient sources like the histories of Tiberius, and why good historians sometimes do bad history (spoiler - miracles are the problem).

“These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God…” (John 20:31)

NEW Evidence for the Star of Bethlehem? What Christians Should Know Hi Reader, Every Christmas we picture a glowing star leading the Magi — but this week’s news about a NASA scientist proposing that the star is a 5 BC comet has left many Christians wondering: Does a scientific explanation make the Bible’s miracle smaller? Does it make God less powerful? In this 9-minute video, I walk through the new research, explore three biblical ways God works through nature and history, and show why the...

How the Grinch explains the REAL Christmas story Hi Reader, Christmas can feel heavier than we expect. For some of us it brings a quiet ache — the sense of being on the outside, or of not fitting the “picture-perfect” scenes we see around us. But the Bible’s real Christmas story doesn’t ignore that ache — it speaks directly into it. In this week’s short video, I explore three surprising ways the Grinch helps us see what Scripture has been saying all along about rejection, loneliness, and...
