Are the Gospels reliable enough to be considered as evidence? If they would not be admitted into court (under objections that they are “Hearsay” documents), do they really have any evidential value? In this episode, Jim examines the qualifications of the gospels, the nature of courtroom evidence, the requirements of history and the reliability of the New Testament eyewitnesses.

In this episode of the PCM Podcast, Jim looks at the birth narrative of Jesus and examines the historical objections that are leveled by skeptics. Jim also takes a look at some of the articles that have been written recently about Tim Tebow and examines why Christians are so interested in the quarterback of the Denver Broncos.

Have important ancient letters been removed from the New Testament Canon? If our current Bible is “smaller” than the Bible of the Church Fathers, how can we trust that we know the truth? Also, Jim addresses email related to Mormonism and his comments last week regarding to the use of the word, “cult”.

In this episode, Jim examines the recent comments of Pastor Robert Jeffress who recently described Mormonism as a “cult”. Has this word lost its meaning in our culture? Is there some other way to effectively share our concerns about the distinctions between Christianity and Mormonism? Also, Jim looks at the claim that Hitler was a Christian. Can this be supported by history? What implications does Hitler’s view of Jesus have on our examination of those who claim to be Christians?

In this episode of the PCM Podcast, Jim comments on Sean McDowell’s recent review of David Kinnaman’s book entitled, “You Lost Me”.

Jim also comments on Dennis Prager’s recent article, “Why Young Americans Can’t Think Morally,” and answers listener email related to science in the Bible.
