Talking Points:
- It’s natural to be skeptical of Christianity. The good news is that God has a long history of accepting those with doubts.
- The movie Risen reminds us that Christianity is based on the actual events of human history. Jesus was born in a certain place in the Roman Empire at a certain time.
