God’s Word tells us we must “always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15).
In this newly revised and updated edition of the 6-session Video Study, Evidence That Demands a Verdict, Josh McDowell and Sean McDowell provide compelling evidence to help Christians know what they believe, why it is true, and how they communicate biblical truth to a skeptical world.
Josh and his son, Sean, help believers in Christ understand how the books of the New Testament came into being, how they differ from “Gnostic” and non-biblical texts, and why they can be sure that the New Testament books are historically reliable. They also examine how believers can know that Jesus existed, why the claims he made about himself are true, how he fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about himself, and how believers can know the resurrection took place.
This DVD Study is designed for use with the Evidence That Demands a Verdict Study Guide (sold separately).

Why Did God Do That?: Discovering God’s Goodness in the Hard Passages of Scripture
Violent wars, harsh laws, pronounced judgments. Christianity proclaims God’s goodness, yet the Bible is filled with passages that seem to paint a different picture. On the surface, such depictions can hinder our confidence in God’s goodness. But when we’re willing to look deeper, we discover a consistent purpose behind everything God does—and that he is greater than we could ever imagine. Alongside bestselling author Josh McDowell, Matthew Tingblad invites you to discover how a good God has good reasons for his challenging actions in the Bible. Throughout, you will uncover the reality of God’s consistent motives and purposes: holiness, justice, and radical mercy.
