The Amazing Turin Shroud

We Christians aren't dependent on physical evidence to support our faith, but when it comes along, as it does regularly, it's thrilling and welcome. The Shroud of Turin has been commonly ignored in the protestant world since it first began to make news. I confess to being one of those who didn't even bother to look into the claims of its origin.

Has the New Testament Been Changed Many Times Over the Centuries?

Is the New Testament and the Bible we now read completely different to what was originally written, so that we can't rely on it? This is the claim of skeptics and cults alike, but there are answers to their accusations, and very good ones.
