the Chirst files

i am forwarding an email sent to me. i'm guessing that this documentary is a great start from Centre for Public Christianity (nothing there yet, kicking off Easter 08). the office is located at walker street in North Sydney where John Dickson and Greg Clarke will be based.

ps. John Dickson will be speaking at City Bible Forum (North Sydney) starting May 5th for 5 weeks on "The Christ Files".

Do your friends claim Jesus was only a legend and not a historical figure? Not sure how we know about Jesus outside of the Bible?

Watch (and tell your friends to watch) a great documentary (1hr) by Dr John Dickson "The Christ Files - How historians know what they know about Jesus".

NOON Channel 7 on GOOD FRIDAY (21 March)

Shot in seven countries the documentary reveals the earliest and most important manuscript evidence for Jesus of Nazareth, including the writings of Josephus, Mara bar Serapion, the apostle Paul and the controversial Gnostic Gospels.

Interviews with a dozen of the world’s leading New Testament historians and access to some of Israel ’s most important archaeological sites give this work a unique authority.

Neither a work of fanciful scepticism nor of Christian propaganda.

The Christ Files provides viewers with front row seats to the facts behind the Western world’s most influential story.
