On Reasons and Believing the Christian Message	In this talk I investigate whether it's rational or reasonable to believe the Christian message. Do we need evidence to believe? If not, why not?

I want to address the subject of whether bright, thoughtful people—such as people who teach and study in the universities of the world—people who do not yet believe the Christian message—people such as these, do they have good reason to believe? Hopefully this talk will help Christians better understand these issues as well. For thoughtful Christians, of course, the issue is should they believe what they have believed? This is a little piece of religious epistemology and apologetics. (more info) by David Suryk
