Today at Warwick University, I spoke on the reliability of the Bible and whether it was just a book of myths at 12.00noon. Questions on this subject so far this week have included: “why isn’t there more evidence for the exodus?” “What’s the evidence for habitation at Jericho before the walls fell down?” “Surely if the Israelites spent that long in the wilderness they should have left some archaeological remains?” “Surely the story about Jesus and the woman caught in the act of adultery should not be in the Bible?” “How can it be right that God judges Jesus for my sin? Surely it would be more laudable if I paid for my own sin?” Plus the usual questions about the Gnostic gospels. Then I did a different talk at 1.00pm on “Was Jesus just a great moral teacher?” Had a great conversation afterwards with “D” [not his real name] who said that he had been raised as an atheist, but that he wanted to hear the other side of the story. He said: “I’m a physicist, and what I liked about your talk is that it was logical.” I asked: “do you have any Christian friends?” He said: “no”. He had been given a flyer and turned up. I encouraged him that the whole reason why we are doing this week of events on campus is to help people like him who have never had the opportunity before to hear about Christ.
