Ongoing Scholarly Projects
At the Institute for Christian Reflection, we are committed to advancing scholarly research that illuminates all things related to Christianity. Our ongoing investigations delve into various aspects of faith, history, and the implications of gospel teaching in modern society. Our flagship project has been supporting T. C. Schmidt’s book Josephus and Jesus: New Evidence for the One Called Christ (Oxford University Press), which brings forth notable evidence regarding the miracles of Jesus and his resurrection. A generous donor has made the book freely available for download.
Other projects of ours span biblical times to well into the Christian era. They include new evidence regarding the extraordinary spread of ancient Christianity in East Asia, a new discovery of perhaps the earliest Christian artifact, ancient testimony concerning the famous darkness of the crucifixion, among others. These, we trust, will prove to be of outstanding value. Most recently we helped bring to the public new research on the origins of the date of Christmas on December 25th by making freely available T. C. Schmidt’s academic article, “The Earliest References to Jesus’s Birth on December 25,” which you may freely read here.
Such projects require great expertise and cannot be completed without much patience and support. If you would like to join with us, please pray for our work, sign up on our mailing list, and consider donating. We thank you for your generosity.
