Examine the Evidence
16 Part Series

Examine the Evidence seminars explore controversial topics and tough questions that both believers and skeptics ask. What is true, how do you know, and what evidence is there – if any – to believe? New topics from a variety of guest speakers are presented on campus the second Monday of every month.
Evidence for the Resurrection - Did Jesus Really Rise From the Dead?
Examine the Evidence
Tony Guerrero teaches The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the capstone of the Christian faith - without it, Christianity is just another man-made religion. But if it's true, then Jesus really is who He said he was! So, is it possible this man actually rose from the dead? In this informative class Tony Guerrero looks at the Easter story and addresses the common objections to its veracity. A great class for believers and skeptics alike!
