Further resources:
-Check out the bethinking.org website for lots more information on the ‘evidence’ for Christianity.
-Also highly recommended is the book, ‘I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist‘. In particular, see p256ff on the historicity of Luke’s Gospel.
-For an encyclopaedic volume on evidence relating to Christianity, read the classic ‘Evidence that Demands a Verdict‘ by Josh McDowell.
-We have free literature in the HTG office on the evidence for the Resurrection; please ask a member of staff for a copy. Alternatively, buy a copy from the Good Book Company by clicking here.
For further study:
-Study Isaiah 35 and Isaiah 61 carefully, reading them alongside Luke 4 and Luke 7.
