For more than forty years, Evidence That Demands a Verdict has encouraged and

In this new six-session video study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Josh and
his son, Sean, help believers in Christ understand how the books of the New Testament
came into being, how they differ from "Gnostic" and non-biblical texts, and why they
can be sure that the New Testament books are historically reliable. They also examine
how believers can know that Jesus existed, why the claims he made about himself are
true, how he fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about himself, and how believers can
know the resurrection took place.

This study is for anyone who has ever been stumped by someone's arguments against
Christianity or the Bible-or has wondered for themselves if the Bible's depiction of Jesus
is true and not just a made-up fairy tale. It has been specifically created to help
Christians know what they believe, why it is true, and how they communicate biblical
truth to a skeptical world.
