In this podcast, Jim begins to examine the ancient non-canonical writings to see what they say about Jesus. Are these documents alternate eyewitness accounts? Do they express the truth about Jesus, lost over the centuries? Are there any good reasons for us to trust what they have to say, and do they agree with the New Testament documents in any way?

In this podcast, Jim answers listener email related to the nature of Jesus. How are we to understand the relationship between Jesus' humanity and His divinity? If there were times when He failed to use His divine power, does this mean that He lacked the power of God? Also, how do we know that the Gospels we have today are the same as the Gospels written in the 1^st century?

Jim takes a break from his series on the nature and historicity of Jesus to talk directly to Christopher Hitchens following Chris' article in Vanity Fair, "Topic of Cancer". This special edition of the PleaseConvinceMe Podcast responds directly to Hitchens' comments about his own experience battling cancer, and offers the hope and reasonable perspective of the Christian Worldview.
