J. Warner Wallace: "Parents are the most important apologists our kids will ever know.”
Bart Ehrman: “l believe atheists have done themselves a disservice by jumping on the bandwagon of mythicism because, frankly, it makes you look foolish to the outside world… This is not even an issue for scholars of antiquity. There is no scholar in any college or university in the western world who teaches classics, ancient history, New Testament, early Christianity; any related field who doubts that Jesus existed. The reason for thinking Jesus existed is because he is abundantly attested in early sources.”
Sir William Ramsay: “Luke is a historian of the first rank; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy … this author should be placed along with the very greatest historians.”
miracle: miracle: “a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.”
divine providence: “the protective care of God as a spiritual power.”
divine providence: “the protective care of God as a spiritual power.”
Francis Chan: “I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know that I couldn't be doing this by my own power.”
