Can anyone recommend a book for the historical proof for Christianity to be real? (Or scientific ones if you have any! Mostly historical though) ?
Edit – please don’t just say “the Bible”, I already read it and would like a different recommendation as I want to go more in depth.
Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh and Sean McDowell
Here’s some extra stuff to…

Halley’s bible handbook , full of archaeological discoveries, epitome of church history, related historical data etc.. Also Foxes book of martyrs.
Sure it is called the Bible
Ravi Zecharias did a good job on the book, Jesus Among Other Gods.
Lee stobels The Case for Christ. Its in youtube.. pls look for it..
The Truth Project teaching series from Focuson the Family
You may try Lee Strobel’s book or Ken Ham’s books and Articles
I suggest for authors that you start with Greg Bahnsen, Scott Oliphint, Cornelius Van Til, and John Frame for apologetics.
The Bible. You will find that it’s all true and can be substantiated historically. Almost all prophecies have been fulfilled except the final ones- which in the current world, may well happen soon.
‘The long war against God’ by Henry Morris
And the afore mentioned Ravi publication
“The Case for Christ “ by Lee Strobel
Read Lee Stobels The case for Christ .All your questions are answered therein
Answer in Genesis has several great books on the topic. Everything from basic apologetics to entire volumes.
You really need to narrow this general topic down though to your approach.
Are you more interested in hermanatics, prophecy, archeology, physics, logic?
There’s many ways to do what your trying to do.
My approach is to speak with Athiest then take Thier objections and research those.
‘The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus’ by Gary Habermas is a great book for historical evidences for the Resurrection. But it only addresses the Resurrection. I highly recommend it!!
The Historical Jesus, Ancient Evidence for the Life if Christ, by Gary Habermas. Dr. Habermas also wrote a book called, The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus, along with Michael Licona that is supposed to be excellent, but I haven’t read it yet. Dr. Habermas teaches at Liberty University and is considered by many to be the world’s foremost expert on the resurrection! I’ve watched some really good presentations that are available on YouTube!
Briana Ryan thank you for your post, I am looking forward to digging into some of the books offered here by those who were sincere.
Those who sarcastically posted for you to read your bible are clearly NOT the ones who HAVE read their bibles consistently enough to have God’s word overflow from their hearts, because there is no call for their sarcasm towards someone who wants to learn. God bless you for that!
I love your searching heart. Digging into the history of the bible and bible times is growing my faith immensely.
When you hear tidbits about how God’s word being lamps unto our feet, (Psalm 119:105) came from in Bible times they literally wore lamps on their calves to help them see where they were going in the dark! The verse that Paul speaks of in Romans 7:24 carrying this body of death, speaks of in bible times, in Rome, certain criminals were punished with a death sentence of carrying around a decayed corpse until they themselves died!
How can you forget that picture!?
These are just two examples of what you will find digging deeper into bible history and making what bible authors wrote about, come to life in your heart. There are many reasons they were so descriptive.
I like astronomy so check out, “Bethlehem Star” DVD. “Evidence that Demands a Verdict”, book is a good start.
How long did it take you to read it all?
The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, and his other books.
Hi there, u can read all the books in the world and it wouldn’t help u, simply ask the holy spirit to reveal Jesus Christ to you,

Josh McDowell, evidence that demands a verdict
Josh McDowell also wrote, “More Than a Carpenter”. Morris and Whitcomb have written some good books from a scientific perspective.
Lol. Poster you are funny. You want by pass the living God.
Purchase The Satanic Bible and you will break your neck running from satan who is leading you away from the living God.
Books by Lee Strobel would be good.
I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist by Frank Turek and Norm Geisler
Gods Crime scene, Forensic Faith & Cold case Christianity by J.Warner Wallace
Rom 16:25 — Rom 16:27
Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith— to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.
‘Evidence that Demands a Verdict’ by Josh McDowell. Go to josh.org for a boatload of apologetics resources and you can order his books from there as well.

I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist co written by Frank turek Norman Geisler and a book by James Warren Wallace Cold case Christianity
The Bible
Briana have you really studied the book of Acts?
The dead sea scrolls is historical proof.
Look at the 10 millennial lunar calendar and 10 millennial solar calendar of nasa.gov . The earliest records of solar and lunar eclipses occurring starts between -4000 and -3999 which makes the earth appropriately 6000 years old just like the bible says and the according to the biblical calendar that is still used in Israel today. The biblical calendar also says the age of the earth and creation began 6000 years ago. There is absolutely no records of solar or lunar eclipses before -4000 years because the sun moon and planets had not came into creation yet.
But you should not let the name “10 millennial calendar” fool you because when they say 10 millennial, they are counting many years into the future that has not occurred yet.
