Is Christianity True?

Christianity is the only religion grounded in historical, verifiable events—most notably the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Unlike myths or philosophies, Christianity is based on real history, supported by eyewitness accounts and early written records. The resurrection of Jesus, in particular, stands as powerful evidence, as it was confirmed by hundreds of witnesses and dramatically transformed the lives of His followers. Additionally, Christianity provides a consistent and coherent explanation of reality, human nature, morality, and the meaning of life, aligning with both reason and experience.

“Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions” invented by Greg Koukl is a practical guide for Christians to confidently and thoughtfully engage in conversations about their faith. Koukl emphasizes using questions and a calm, respectful approach rather than confrontation. The central strategy is called the Columbo Tactic, which involves asking questions to:

1. Gather information – “What do you mean by that?”

2. Clarify reasoning – “How did you come to that conclusion?”

3. Gently challenge flaws – by using questions to expose weak arguments.

The goal is not to “win” arguments but to make others think and to “put a pebble in their shoe”—leaving them with something meaningful to consider. Would you like a summary of the main tactics he presents in the book?
