This recording bridges an intellectual chasm often regarded as impassable - that between modern jurisprudence (philosophy of law) and contemporary theology. Dr. Montgomery's thesis is that remarkably similar developmental patterns exist in these two areas of the history of ideas and that lessons learned in one are of the greatest potential value to the other.

A classic debate between a Christian historian and theologian and a humanist on the historical evidence for Jesus. Dr. Montgomery is well known internationally for his lectures and writings on the historicity of Jesus and the reliability of the New Testament documents. He has set forth his case in books such as History and Christianity. Dr. G. A. Wells is also well known for his view that we have no reliable eyewitnesses to the events related in the New Testament.

This series is designed to help the lay Christian confidently proclaim and defend the faith. Too many Christians know "what" they believe, but not necessarily "why" they believe it.

An analysis and critique of documentary hypotheses regarding the origins of the Old Testament documents, and a comparison of this approach in theological studies to Ancient and Near Eastern and Greek studies.

How does the Christian faith relate to other faiths? In what sense is Christianity unique? How might a Christian approach the study of comparative religions?

Dr. Montgomery presents a careful exposition of the fourth Gospel. These popular lectures were delivered as a series to an enthusiastic audience in the late Walter R.
