Beginning with the methods scholars use to study the historical Jesus, we explore how presuppositions—especially naturalism—shape modern conclusions. We then consider what historians broadly agree about Jesus’ life and why the virgin birth and resurrection stand at the center of Christian claims. Finally, we examine the historical evidence for the resurrection and why it remains the decisive event that vindicates Jesus’ identity and grounds the Christian faith in real history.

We’ll look at the cumulative case for Scripture’s authority—from Jesus’s own view of the Old Testament to the Bible’s remarkable unity, historical credibility, careful transmission, and the recognition of the New Testament canon.

From classical and evidential approaches that emphasize arguments and evidence, to presuppositional methods that begin with biblical revelation, to narrative and cultural approaches that engage the stories shaping our world. But we’ll also introduce a fourth approach—incarnational apologetics—which reminds us that the defense of the gospel is not only argued with words, but demonstrated through a life that embodies the truth of Christ.
