I recently taught a class at my church entitled For the Bible Tells Me So: A Discussion of the Bible’s Reliability and How and Why I Can Trust It. It is the second session in a program that we call FloodU or Flood University, consisting of foundational classes addressing spiritual questions, growth, relationships, and transformation. If you are part of Flood or live in the San Diego area, I’d encourage you to look into these three four week courses all offered free of charge.
I have provided a link to the PDF of the presentation that I gave and you are welcome to download it and take a look. For those of you who attended the session, it will make more sense since the talk filled out its contents further. I will be tweaking the presentation in the future and will update this link as I do.
If you are interested in further dialogue about this subject, I would be happy to correspond or meet up to talk about it in person. You can contact me through the site.
For further reading, a few books that I would recommend are:
- New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, Josh McDowell
- The Historical Reliability of the Gospels, Craig L. Blomberg
- The Case for Christianity, Lee Strobel
- Who Moved the Stone, Frank Morison
