Description
The historicity of the founding narrative of the Christian faith in many Christian circles is considered to be indispensible. If so can a person of intellectual integrity continue to take the story of Jesus, as the church has traditionally recounted the narrative, as historical? In this debate C. Stephen Evans investigates two philosophical questions about the nature of history. He first asks how can history have fundamental importance or meaning or how is it even possible for something that happened a very long time ago to have eternal and universal significance? He then asks what is historical knowledge and how is it gained?
