There is a lot of gold on the internet. And there is a lot of dross! Slowly but surely I’ve kept a list of some of the gold. Below is a list of links to articles, blogs, podcasts, talks and youtube videos that will help you explore Jesus on line. Some of the material is super short and punchy. But some of it is longer and deeper. We need the short for the overview and to get us thinking. We need the depth to explore things with integrity.
There are five sections.
Explore Jesus: this aims to go to the heart of Christianity.
Explore some great talks on Jesus: a few links to a huge range of talks from great speakers
Exploring questions and objections: looking at some questions and objections to the Christian message.
Explore Jesus as a person of history: the evidence for Jesus as a person of history is overwhelming.
Explore following Jesus: find out what it means to follow Jesus
