Most of you will have no idea what "Zeitgeist" is. However, it is an internet phenomenon youtube documentary which (supposedly) completely disproves Christianity and especially the existence of Jesus Christ.

You can hear Bruxy Cavey respond to this clip and also to Dan Brown's "Davinci Code" in a more quick, sound-bite way in the following clips:

After years of responding to e-mails on this topic, Bruxy Cavey preached two sermons specifically on Zeitgeist. You can access them by subscribing to theMeetingHouse Audiocast, or the MeetingHouse VideoCast. The sermons are in the series "Duped," and are the two sermons entitled "Did Jesus Exist" and "Jesus - Christ or Copycat?". These sermons are also available from the MeetingHouse homepage. (Note: if you watch the video, be sure to also get the audio version, which has the so-called "drive-home" section. This is where Bruxy talks about everything he didn't have time to say in the sermon. In this case, it is a lot of very interesting material!)
In litsening to these two sermons, I was reminded again of how often Christanity has expressed its core identity most concisely and clearly in the face of detractors. In the first few centuries, this was certainly the case. There were many occasions when Greeks would write malicious misunderstandings and misrepresentations of Christianity, and Christians would respond by debunking the false accounts, and writing "Apologies" of their true, core identity. From these documents we now have a clear understanding of how the early Christians saw themselves. In Bruxy's response also, we get a very clear and well-formulated understanding of how Christianity sees itself, especially in relation to the essential questions of Jesus' life, his originality, and the authenticity of Scriptures.
I would really recommend accessing these two sermons, as they provide a beautifully concise but exceedingly compact and well-researched defense of Christianity, against those who still - in spite of all of the facts - cling desperately to the fictions of the Davinci Code or Zeitgeist. Against the notion that Christianity is only a borrowed religion which grew out of paganism, Bruxy presents the truth that a real Jewish person, living in the first century A.D. actually taught something which has literally changed the world.
