On What Basis Do You Claim That the Bible is True? Or are you just asserting it?
*Does the New Testament allow for objective — NOT just subjective – testing as to whether it is true — or not? If “yes,” how?
*If you think the New Testament writings are reliable, why do you?
*Jesus: Myth, Legend or Historical Fact
*The Jesus of History and The Resurrection
*I’ve heard that Christians can argue from an Incarnate Christ to a totally inspired Bible. Is this possible? How?
Hear a Historical Defense of the Truth of the Christian Gospel

Rev. Dr. Rod Rosenbladt – Professor of Theology and Christian Apologetics at Concordia University in Irvine, Ca. and Co-Host of the nationally syndicated radio broadcast of “The White Horse Inn” which aims each week to equip Christians to”know what they believe and why they believe it.”
Attorney Craig Parton – A Christian layman using his training and God-given legal talent to help us see that the Bible is the true Word of God — even when tested by secular criteria. Mr. Parton received a Master’s degree in Apologetics under Dr. John Montgomery and his Juris Doctorate from Hastings Law School (San Francisco, Cal.). He is a former staff member of Campus Crusade for Christ, now a worshiping LC-MS layman.
