As young Christians leave for secular Universities to continue their education, they will be faced (possibly for the first time), with questions and scrutiny about their Christian faith. How can you help prepare them? Dr. Darrell Bock, one of the world’s leading historical Jesus scholars, answers the questions: How did Christianity begin? How do we know that the information in the New Testament books is the best historical evidence there is for what Jesus said and did? How do we know we can trust what we are told about Jesus? Was the message Jesus preached, changed over time by the early Christians, or has Jesus’ core message remained the same until our day? How did the early Christians come to believe that the Apostles’ books and letters were to be considered Scripture, equal in authority with the Old Testament Scriptures? Who decided which books would become part of the canon? From our series „So You Don’t Fall Away From Your Faith” available for purchase at http://bit.ly/1ODt4Xg

definitely. I love these videos from John Ankerberg, they are so enlightening, as he presents angles one might not have otherwise thought of. For example, Darrell Bock’s comment on Paul already having heard this Gospel doctrine during the time he was persecuting Christians for these same doctrines goes to show that Paul did not make up his theology all on his own, but, in fact, it was rooted in what the disciples and Jesus were already teaching. And, this is hugely important to tanswer back today’s naysayers when they accuse Paul of getting it „wrong” on some issues. Plus, this info, reinforces the accuracy of the written Word, which came later…
This really is great stuff!
