Why Christianity?

Why I Believe God Entered History in Jesus Christ

Belief in God does not automatically lead to Christianity. This episode considers Christianity’s more particular claim: that God did not remain distant, but entered history in Jesus Christ. James looks at the resurrection, the earliest witnesses, the long story of Scripture, and the claims Jesus made about himself.

  • What makes Christianity a claim about history rather than only private spirituality?
