Comment on The Heroic Crusade Redux by DavidS.
Even scripture, in and of itself, is a type of evidence. How does the narrative of scripture fit and flow into the culmination of the New Testament. The Gospels are a type of evidence to prove that Jesus was the Messiah. The Bereans were more noble because they studied the OT thoroughly to see if what Paul said was a good fit for the OT evidence. For many, whether it is scientific data, history, or just the testimony of scripture requires that evidence precedes faith.
There are many people, including myself, who needed some scientific evidence before faith could come. Others may not need that type of evidence relying on the evidence of scripture and changed lives. But evidence is always foundational to Biblical faith.
