This five-session course explores whether the Gospels are reliable, historically grounded accounts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. We’ll examine the evidence behind the New Testament, evaluate the credibility of its authors, and consider textual integrity and outside corroboration. Along the way, we’ll respond to common objections and provide tools to engage skeptics with clarity. As Jon Noyes notes, undermining the Gospels would unravel Christianity—making this investigation vital for both believers and skeptics. More than history, this course invites you to think critically and faithfully about life’s biggest question: Can we trust what the Gospels say about Jesus?

"All Scientists Should Be Militant Atheists." That was the headline in The New Yorker a few years ago. The article claimed that science "draws people away from religion."

In this course, Tim Barnett explores how a proper understanding of faith and science are completely compatible. Moreover, it was the Christian convictions of the founders of modern science that led to the birth of modern science. Finally, Tim gives an example of how studying the natural world can draw you to God and strengthen your faith in Him.
