Christian Answers

The Resurrection has always been central to Christ’s claims and identity, the verification that He was “more than a carpenter,” as Josh McDowell notes. McDowell is a leading voice in Christian Apologetics, the branch of theology devoted to the defense of the divine origin and authority of Christianity. During Lent, as more people ponder the historical accounts of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, apologetics resources can be helpful in equipping you to respond to the skepticism you may encounter in sharing your faith with spiritual seekers.

One of the best Internet resources on apologetics is Christian Answers, a ministry focused on “providing biblical answers to contemporary questions for all ages and nationalities.” Of special interest at this time of year is The Resurrection, featuring Easter-related questions and answers. That includes specific responses to the “six skeptical objections” most frequently leveled by critics of Christ’s resurrection.
I don’t know that you can argue anyone into the Kingdom. But I’m convinced that when non-believers ask skeptical questions, they do so because they’re looking for something to believe in. Having confident, Biblical answers to tough questions is a way to demonstrate that your faith is making a difference in your life – just as it can in theirs.
