Another powerful testimony to the truth of the Christian Gospel is the fact that millions of people's lives have been changed radically by the power of Christ. Alcoholics have been delivered, drug dependencies have been cured, cowards have found courage, and selfish people have found new meaning in ...

Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. The many Messianic prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Judaism is incomplete without Him, and cannot make sense if His claim to be the Messiah is rejected. The New Testament, or New Covenant, is a fulfillment of Jeremiah's p...

During the course of the history of Israel, the authors of the Old Testament made constant references to the portions of the Hebrew Scriptures that had already been written. From these citations, it is easy to demonstrate that the Old Testament treats itself as "the written record of the words of Go...

No book has ever been the subject of more continued attacks upon it than the Bible. Despite the assaults mounted upon it for millennia, it has emerged unscathed. F. Bettex of Stuttgart, Germany has written: Unchanged and unchangeable, this Bible stands for centuries, unconcerned about the praise an...

There are many important old manuscripts of the Old Testament. Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, one of the most ancient of these was the Cairo Codex, containing the former and latter prophets, copied in A.D. 895 by Moses Ben Asher, a leader of the Masoretes, in Tiberias, Palestine. One o...

If there is a moral absolute which is recognized by most of the great religions, then does it really matter whether one is Confucian, Taoist, Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, or Christian?

The Sopherim copied manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures from about 300 B.C. until A.D. 500. According to the Talmud, they came to be calle...

Many people believe that the data obtained from the radiometric dating of rocks indicates (1) that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, (2) that the ages of the earth's geologic strata have been positively determined, indicating that fossils within these strata are in the sequence one w...

Many people feel that the account given in the Bible of Jonah is legendary, since even if there were a fish big enough to swallow a man, certainly no man would be able to survive three days in its digestive tract and then escape to the outside world. However, again and again, Jesus referred to this ...

George M. Marsden provided an interesting contrast when he compared a few statements made about the status of Christianity in American culture, two in 1873, and another only about fifty years later. The first statement was made by Theodore Woolsey, the retired president of Yale University: "In what ...

Another powerful indication of the existence of God and of the validity of the Christian Scriptures is the vast body of evidence for answered prayer stretching from the time of the early Church until the present day. Whether one reads the biographies of the ancient fathers or the devotional works of...

The Christian Origin of Science becomes quite clear when we study the history of science, and we see that until very recently, scientists interpreted the data in light of the Bible. Until the time of Darwin, biologists were creationists, and until the time of Charles Leyell, geological data were int...
