In this podcast Martin chats to New Testament theologian and author Dr Chris Tilling about who Jesus was, and how historically accurate the Bible is. Is Jesus in the Old Testament? Can the New Testament be trusted? Did Jesus really claim to be God? These are just a few of the questions we try and answer.
