I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Last week, Frank introduced three compelling reasons to believe in the resurrection, including embarrassing details and eyewitness testimony. In this midweek episode, he jumps back into more archaeological discoveries that include names of people involved in the death and crucifixion of Jesus and how the excruciating deaths of the eyewitnesses offer powerful evidence that they weren’t lying as well. He also answers questions like:

• Did any of the apostles recant their eyewitness testimony and is it possible that they were hallucinating?
• Were the apostles motivated to invent the resurrection story and should their testimony be dismissed because they were Christians?
• Is martyrdom also evidence that Islam is true?
• What does Spiderman have to do with the reliability of the New Testament?
• Is the New Testament just a work of historical fiction?
• Can other world religions be defended with apologetics?
• Why are skeptics and non-Christians often motivated to reject Christianity?

Later in the episode, Frank draws from major cultural events in modern U.S. history—like 9/11, the OJ Simpson trial, and the Rodney King incident—to reveal how human bias can shape the way we interpret evidence and how “impact events” can help us in evaluating the historicity of the New Testament.
