We arrive at the end of our journey of investigating the Bible as a Historical document, as a Historian would any other set of evidence. In our concluding episode, we take a look back at our episodes, offering insights that each of us gleaned. We also answer a couple of listener comments, hopefully satisfactorily. We even talk about zombies!!

If you enjoy the King Arthur story (legend?, history?, myth?), we spend time considering its historical strength. In particular I use this historical personage as a way to consider the strength or weakness of evidence for biographies, for the people we know of from history. There are many movies and plays centered on the Arthurian legend, and during the episode, I mentioned a movie that stars Clive Owen and Kiera Knightley, along with the wonderful Mads Mikkelsen. I called it "Arthur" but its actually "King Arthur."

I told about these two songs and love for you to hear them:

U2 "40"

DCTalk's "What If I Stumble" song starts with the quote Matthew read from Brennan Manning where he says "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." We read this quote to help us seque into our last section, where we close out the entire series.

In a sense, that last section was me desperately calling out to any Christian listening to realize that often the reason why some do not believe Christianity or will not follow Jesus because of what they see lived out in front of them.

I do believe, and I think we have demonstrated, that the historical evidence is overwhelming in support of the historicity of the Bible. And that historical evidence proves, to me beyond a doubt, that there is this Maker, this Creator Being who wants a relationship with us humans that He created. Episode 8 showed the depth of evidence to prove the resurrection. So for my non-Christian listeners, I desperately want you to see the beauty and life available.

And yet, to my Christian listeners, there is a desperate need for each believer of Jesus to live out what Psalm 1 says is a delight in walking in God's ways, in following what is written in this Bible.
