Doubting Jesus
As part of the Reasons to Believe series at Sun Valley Community Church (Gilroy, CA), I presented a talk on key ancient, non-Christian sources which help build a historical case for the existence of Jesus to help people answer the question “Did Jesus Exist?” even before getting to the Bible. Download the notes from this presentation (PDF).
