Well, we had our first session yesterday morning for the Case for Christ class at Thompson Station. There were about 15 people present. I recorded the session and have an mp3 of the discussion. If you haven't received it by e-mail and would like a copy of the mp3 and outline please let me know at roger.lightner@yahoo.com.
Here are some discussion questions for you to consider for chapter one. I'll post some explanation to these questions in a couple of days.
1. If you were on a jury, how important would eyewitness testimony be in helping you make your decision?
2. What eyewitnesses do we have for Jesus' life?
3. How do the author's names on the four Gospel accounts compare with that of apocryphal writings?
4. How do the four Gospel accounts differ from modern biographies?
5. What the heck is the Q-document?
6. What are the synoptic Gospels and what makes the Gospel of John so unique?
7. If the Gospels were not written until about 30 years after Christ then how can they be trusted? How does this compare with other ancient pieces of literature?
8. Are there any New Testament books that are older than the Gospels?
9. Dan Brown claims in the DaVinci Code that Christians did not worship Christ as God until after 325 AD. How would you respond to that after reading chapter one?
Feel free to comment here or post something at my Facebook page (Bible Study Station). Let me know if there is something in the book you do not understand and I will post an explanation. See you in a couple of days.
