Jeremiah Johnston – Body of Proof

‘Culture is doing its best to convince the world that there is nothing special about Jesus.  Compounding this is the failure of most churches to grow their followers’ faith beyond a Sunday school understanding.  As a result the most important historical fact of the Christian faith is often the most misunderstood...the resurrection.  And it’s creating a powerless Christianity’.  Brent talks with Jeremiah Johnston about his new book from Bethany House called ‘Body of Proof: the 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus – and Why It Matters Today’. Jeremiah is a New Testament scholar who is president of the Christian Thinkers Society and author and co-author of 12 books.  Jeremiah serves as pastor of apologetics and cultural engagement at Prestonwood Baptist Church and Dean of Spiritual Development at Prestonwood Christian Academy.  (1:30) Why the Resurrection is at the center of Christian faith; (3:10) Why are we clumsy about our Resurrection faith?
