Beyond Blind Faith
Paul E. Little
We must scan the horizon of history to see if there is any clue
to God's revelation. There is one clear clue. In an obscure
village in Palestine, almost 2,000 years ago, a Child was born in
a stable. Today the entire world is still celebrating the birth of
Jesus.
The Truth About Jesus
Charles Gilmer
Devotion to Jesus has been a large part of the African-American experience.
The black church has been and continues to be a powerful force in the
African-American community. But many are questioning the propriety of

The Gospels As Historical Sources For
Jesus
R. T. France
This article addresses two main points: 1) the indispensability of the four
canonical gospels; and 2) the acceptability of the gospels as historical
sources. any responsible reconstruction of Christian origins must find

be discounted.
Easter: Myth, Hallucination, or History?
Edwin M. Yamauchi

can hardly be denied. Whether that conviction is rooted in myth, in
hallucination, or in history has often been debated.
Is There a God?
Marilyn Adamson
A former atheist gives simple, straightforward reasons that
would lead one to conclude there is a God.
Does Christianity Work?
Josh McDowell
I longed to be happy. I wanted to be one of the happiest people in the entire world.
I also desired meaning in life. I was looking for answers to
the questions: "Who am I?"; "Why in the world am I here?"; and "Where am I going?"

How to Pick Your Own God
John Gay
Picking a god is tricky business. Some Hindus say there are more than
300,000 gods. On the opposite end of the spectrum are Buddhists who say
there are no deities. And the Shinto religion, found primarily in Japan, believes

you decide? How do you decide?
