Below are several downloadable PDF resources that we've made available exclusively for our donors and subscribers.
Luke’s Key Witness — UPDATED
A recent archaeological discovery sheds light on the identity of Joanna, a disciple of Jesus and witness to the empty tomb. This PDF download is a “pre-release” version of Shane’s forthcoming book, which has recently been updated and expanded.
Josephus & His World
This 35-page PDF resource highlights many of the important events documented by Josephus from the time of Daniel to the destruction of Jerusalem, and also includes selections from the Slavonic edition of Josephus’ work discussed on episode #78.
Finding Christ in All of Scripture
In John 5:39, Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is they that bear witness about me…” This PDF resource explores some of the ways Jesus is revealed throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
The Identity of the Beloved Disciple
Which John Wrote the Gospel of John? This 32-page investigation surveys both internal and external evidence related to the authorship of the Fourth Gospel.
Acts 2 & The Tongues Controversy
According to the Mishna, first-century Jews distinguished between Hebrew, “the holy tongue,” and “other tongues,” such as Greek and Aramaic. How can this information change our view of the events recorded in Acts 2?
What is Faith?
Is it blind? Is it an inner feeling or experience? Is it a kind of spiritual intuition? Is it completely irrational? This 20-page PDF document walks through many of the issues I covered during the first year of The Humble Skeptic podcast, and includes all the supporting documentation in case you’d like to research things further yourself.
Notes from Paid Subscribers
“Thank you for bringing important, relevant, interesting subjects to the minds of those of us who listen and wrestle with some of the details in scripture. From your inaugural message about mining your dad’s Billy Joel story, I was hooked! You helped me put into words why faith is not blind, and belief is reasonable. May God continue to bless your work/mission.” — Jill
“I supported your work because the approach you take asks the right questions while taking a practical approach to arriving at a conclusion…My faith must be based on what is real. The evidence! Questioning and understanding gets me there.” — John
“IMO, the best Christian podcast! Has helped with my skepticism and has strengthened my faith in Christianity. Inspired me to start a Christian Apologetics ministry in my area. — Larry
“Shane’s humble Christian apologetic approach to challenging our cultural confusion is enlightening and refreshing. I feel he can clarify Christian truth and doctrine for my millennial children in a way I have not been able to.” — Pamela
“I love the depth of your dive into the topics. And when you are interviewing guests, you provide rich commentary and probing questions. The other fact that I really appreciate is the extensiveness of your show notes that accompany the podcast and all the links that are provided…” — Wayne
“Your work is extremely valuable and necessary for Christians in our day and age. I appreciate not only the interviews but also all of the show notes and resources you provide. I am excited to be a part of this in subscribing. Thank you for everything you do! — Michael
