To read a portion of the Scriptures each day, and more importantly, to reflect on what God says to us through it, is a significant part of the Christian spiritual life. To commit ourselves to the habit of reading the Scripture prayerfully and reflectively each day is to allow God to speak words of encouragement, instruction and life to us.

Father Peter Farrington considers the reasonable evidence for the Orthodox Christian Faith, and responds to criticisms of Christianity being a leap in the dark, or equivalent to believing in fairy stories. He begins by showing the reasonable evidence that God exists, that there was person called Jesus, and that his life and teaching are reasonably preserved in the Gospels. He asks what sort of person Jesus was, and what he said about himself.
