Quick answers to tough questions about Jesus' life, ministry, and divinity.

Is there archeological proof that Jesus existed? Did Jesus ever actually claim to be God? Is Jesus really the only way? There's a good chance that every Christian will be asked tough questions like these at some point in their lives, whether from combative skeptics, curious seekers, or even doubts in their own minds.

To help followers of Christ answer questions quickly and confidently, Josh and Sean McDowell adapted the wisdom from their apologetics classic Evidence That Demands a Verdict into an accessible resource that provides answers to common questions about Jesus.

Evidence For Jesus answers these questions and more:

• Is there evidence that Jesus was real?
• Did Jesus ever actually claim to be God?
• What makes Jesus unique from other religious figures?
• Is Christianity a copycat religion?
• What does the Old Testament teach about the coming Messiah?
• Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
• Why does the resurrection of Jesus matter?

Evidence for Jesus will equip brand new believers and lifelong Christians alike with time-tested rebuttals to defend their faith in Jesus against even the harshest critics.

For more than forty years, Evidence That Demands a Verdict has encouraged and
strengthened millions of people around the world. It has convinced skeptics of the
Bible's reliability, helped believers articulate their faith, and given them the vital facts
they need to defend God's Word and lead others to faith in Jesus. The book has now
been revised and updated to include newly uncovered historical documentation, recent
scholarship, and new and expanded chapters to address recent attacks on Christianity.

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.

This study guide is designed for use with the Evidence That Demands a Verdict Video
Study (sold separately).
