"All roads lead to God." "Live your truth." "Do what makes you happy." These truisms of the modern world lend themselves to the idea that the traditional Christian idea which states Jesus is "the only way" is intolerant and unloving. Abdu Murray discusses this major issue live at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dr. Bart Ehrman claims that Matthew made a translation error and misunderstood the original context of Isaiah 7:14. If Matthew had known Hebrew and understood the context, he would have known that Isaiah was not prophesying a "virgin birth." If Dr. Ehrman is true, that means the Gospel story of Jesus is built on a lie. What is the truth? Find out in this in-depth investigation.

But are there good reasons to move beyond the "minimal facts" to "maximal data"?
