The Bedrock of Christianity | Ep. 31

The apostle Paul wrote that “if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:14). A few verses later he said, “if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.”

The Resurrection is the central truth claim of the Christian faith. Or, as our guest puts it, it is the bedrock of Christianity.

In The Bedrock of Christianity: The Unalterable Facts of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, Dr. Justin Bass examines facts about Jesus’ death and resurrection that even skeptical scholars agree with.

Listen as we discuss why the resurrection is the bedrock truth claim of the Christian faith and how we can present this truth to others – even skeptics.

  • How the apostle Paul serves as a key witness
