OVERVIEW:
Based on his book Bill Zuersher provides a critical overview of Christian beliefs and the evidence for them. Where did these beliefs come from? Are there good reasons to believe Christianity is true? He looks at Christianity's major beliefs and the significant difficulties with each of them.

Mr. Zuersher also examines the evidence for Christianity namely religious writings and the historical fact of the early Jesus movement. He makes the case that this evidence does not support the religion's claims and he provides naturalistic alternative explanations for how its core beliefs arose.
