Why do Christians believe Christianity to be true?

A simple and authentic explanation of things you might not otherwise hear

What if there are good reasons behind what Christians believe?

While personal stories of people embracing this faith can be compelling, what about its rational basis? Is there reason to trust the Bible, and how does Christianity compare with other religions? What evidence is there to suggest God can be personally known — in contrast to the ‘distant mysticism’ we are otherwise left with? It is a profoundly important question.

In this home-grown video series, a wide range of ‘big questions’ are systematically explored, revealing something of the scope of reason that many who embrace the faith go on to consider. We recognise that everyone comes with different backgrounds, experiences, and worldviews — from what we’ve learned growing up, to soundbites we see online.

Wherever you’re coming from, watch the videos below, a more comprehensive summary with this brevity would be hard to find.

Free companion booklets that go deeper into each topic are also available at WhyChristiansBelieve.nz

The significance of the Christian faith to our nation and cultural values cannot be understated.  Cultural festivals like Christmas and Easter, inclusive of public holidays, exist as a reflection of this contribution — to help us remember our history. Waitangi, Matariki, King’s Birthday and other similar public holidays became such for the very same reason.
