Why You Can Trust the Bible with Daniel Buttafuoco

About this episode

Michael Easley and Daniel Buttafuoco discuss the historical evidence supporting the Bible and address common objections to Christianity.

What if Christianity isn’t built on blind faith—but on real historical evidence? In this episode of inContext, Michael Easley sits down with attorney, apologist, and author Daniel Buttafuoco to discuss why Christians can confidently trust the Bible and defend their faith in today’s culture. Drawing from years as a trial lawyer, Daniel explains how the New Testament reads like eyewitness testimony in a courtroom and why the evidence for Jesus, the resurrection, and the reliability of Scripture is stronger than many believers realize. Together, they unpack common objections to Christianity, the rise of skepticism online, manuscript evidence, apologetics for everyday believers, and why so many young Christians walk away from their faith in college. If you’ve ever struggled to answer tough questions about Christianity—or wanted more confidence talking about your faith—this episode will equip and encourage you.
