Featuring: Dr. Craig Blomberg

In this foundational session, Dr. Craig Blomberg—renowned New Testament scholar—guides us through a thoughtful, evidence-based case for trusting the biblical accounts of Jesus. With wit, warmth, and precision, Dr. Blomberg explores how we assess ancient documents for credibility, compares the gospel manuscripts to other historical sources, and debunks the idea that faith in Jesus must be a blind leap into the dark.

Dr. Blomberg outlines how textual criticism, authorship evidence, early dating, and social memory practices point toward the gospels as historically grounded documents—not myths or legends. He explains the difference between copying faithfully and inventing stories, why oral cultures had remarkable memory practices, and how even the so-called “hard sayings” of Jesus reinforce the authenticity of the accounts. This message is a must-watch for those who want to help others take Christianity seriously—especially in a skeptical, post-Christian culture. It’s both a defense of Scripture and an invitation to place faith on a firm foundation.
