A lot of sloppy thinking about Christianity exists. Many believe Jesus died to save humanity, and anyone who wants to be saved should follow Jesus. That idea is simple, direct, and true. But, why does anyone believe it? Did everyone witness Jesus’ sacrifice and His resurrection? People believe it because it’s in the Bible. Yet, the Bible has much more in it. For example, it has a chronology in it. That chronology firmly establishes Jesus’ human life, sacrifice, and resurrection as an historical fact.
