“JESUS: Fact or Fiction?” includes information from leading scholars, historians, and writers (including Ravi Zacharias, Paul Maier, Gary Habermas, William Dembski, Lee Strobel, and Josh McDowell). These experts offer compelling evidence for the reliability of the Christian worldview and tackle dozens of the theological difficulties posed by non-Christians.
”’JESUS: Fact or Fiction?’ is designed for today’s tech-savvy users, those who desire instant information and cutting-edge technology,” said Paul Eshleman, director of The JESUS Film Project. “People are going to want to know the truth about Jesus after seeing ‘The PASSION of The Christ,’ and this DVD has the answers.”
“JESUS: Fact or Fiction?” also includes the “JESUS” film with special new features.
