Are the Acts of the Apostles Accurate? Part 1

How I learned about the reliability of the book of Acts  (Or, the reliability of my sources) I don't really remember exactly when and in what order I came across the books that pointed me to my main sources for defending the fifth book of the New Testament, but of course purchased them after getting them from the library.  What first caught my eye the most was in I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist by Christian apologists Frank Turek and the late Norman L. Geisler(1). In it they documented 84 historically confirmed facts from Colin J. Hemer's The Book of Acts in the Setting of Hellenistic History . Also, they cited William M. Ramsay's St. Paul the Traveler and Roman Citizen . As probability would have it, what really inspired me to get Hemer's book was something Geisler said to Lee Strobel in The Case for Faith . "The noted Roman historian Colin J. Hemer, in  The Book of Acts in the Setting of Hellenistic History , shows how archaeology has confirmed not...

Revisiting the Harmonization of the Gospels' Empty Tomb accounts

Sooooo... basically I found more of a historical ground to place my theory that Matthew's account is different than others, along with some new observations, even as critical charges. Here I'm further defending  " Bible Difficulties -- 4 Different Accounts of Empty Tomb Appearances ." I suggest you read it before considering the content of this post, because I deal with many other potential errors in the Gospel narratives of the empty tomb. Last month I finished reading Truth in a Culture of Doubt: Engaging Skeptical Challenges to the Bible  by apologists Andreas J. Kostenberger, Darrell L. Bock, and Josh D. Chatraw. Ehrman was the source of criticism they were trying to answer throughout the book. They deal with a case of chronological differences: "Luke likely mentions the tearing of the veil prior to the crucifixion [Luke 23:44-45] in order to put it beside other cosmic signs he gives. In other words, Luke is providing a list of cosmic signs without claiming a...

About 8 Minute Read: In the Midst of the Coronavirus -- Hope

"We each need to make sense of coronavirus in three different ways: intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. All are important—and together they present a formidable challenge to anyone." Mathematician and apologist John C. Lennox sincerely believes this, and I agree. Thus, it makes sense that an apologist is someone who doesn't fit the typical description of a religious person -- they argue for their belief system on an objective, rational level.  It would take me a while to get my hands on a physical copy of Lennox's book " Where is GOD in a Coronavirus World? " but fortunately, the kind hearts (and minds!) at RZIM have published a free excerpt.  I don't keep up with the news, and information I get about issues of the large world around me usually comes from my family. I do know that tens of thousands of people, at least, have already perished from this dreary phenomena. So it's very serious -- we are in the midst of unmistakable evil.   Or are...
