Did Jesus really exist? And if so, did he really die on the cross and rise from the dead? And how can we know? These questions are at the heart of the Christian faith which is based not on blind leaps in spite of evidence, but a is a reasoned response based on evidence! In this teaching, we look at the data and see how you don't have to believe the Bible is divinely inspired or even reliable to firmly establish, based on historical methods, that Jesus did indeed live, die, and rise from the dead. Have you considered this evidence? What will be your reasonable response?

This teaching concludes with a testimony from Matthew Schmitz.
