Christwise

Christwise is an evidence-based learning platform for examining Christianity through history, philosophy, science, and honest questions.

The site covers the historical case for the resurrection of Jesus (minimal-facts method, the 1 Corinthians 15 creed, the empty tomb, competing hypotheses), arguments for God's existence (Kalam, fine-tuning, moral, contingency), the reliability of the New Testament (manuscript evidence, P52, P46, Dead Sea Scrolls), the Shroud of Turin, intelligent design and information theory (Stephen Meyer), and charitable responses to the toughest objections (problem of evil, religious violence, pagan myth theory, Old Testament difficulties, hell, divine hiddenness).
