The Nature of Evidence
Part of a lesson offered to high school students participating in the Berkeley Missions Trip. We examined the role and power of "circumstantial evidence" and compared it to "direct evidence" in an effort to demonstrate that truth can be reliably ascertained circumstantially.

The Rules for Eyewitnesses

Part of a lesson offered to high school students participating in the Berkeley Missions Trip. We examined the standards that are used by juries across America to evaluate eyewitnesses. These are the same standards that we can apply to effectively evaluate the Gospel eyewitness accounts.

The Early Dating of the Gospels

Part of a lesson offered to high school students participating in the Berkeley Missions Trip. We examined the cumulative circumstantial evidence for the early dating of the Gospels. If the Gospels were written early, many of the concerns related to their accuracy must be addressed from a different perspective.

The New Testament Chain of Custody

Part of a lesson offered to high school students participating in the Berkeley Missions Trip. We examined the New Testament “Chain of Custody”. Can we trust that the original eyewitnesses handed their account to their students faithfully? Is there any record of who these students were or what they said about the Gospels?

Possible vs. Reasonable

What is the difference between "possible" and "reasonable"? Why does it matter? How can mastery of this distinction help us to think clearly before we begin to examine the case for the Christian Worldview? (from Jim's talk at Calvary Chapel Bangor)

Abductive Reasoning

What is "Abductive Reasoning"? How can the process be used to determine truth? How can mastery of "Abductive Reasoning" help us to think clearly before we begin to examine the case for the Christian Worldview? (from Jim's talk at Calvary Chapel Bangor)

Objective vs. Subjective Truth

What is the difference between "Objective Turth" and "Subjective Truth"? How can mastery of the distinction between these two definitions help us to think clearly before we begin to examine the case for the Christian Worldview? (from Jim's talk at Calvary Chapel Bangor)
