In May, 1986, at the Court of Appeals in Athens, Dr. Montgomery successfully defended three evangelical missionaries who had been given three-and-a half year prison terms for "proselytizing".

This series is designed to help the lay Christian confidently proclaim and defend the faith. Too many Christians know "what" they believe, but not necessarily "why" they believe it. The information in this series will help the listener to "...always be ready to make a defense to every one who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you." (I Peter 3:15)

The one book of the Bible which best unites the Old Testament with the New is the Epistle to the Hebrews. Produced in Apostolic circles, doubtless by a companion of St. Paul, it remains the best account in all of divine revelation as to how the history of Israel and its sacrificial system were God's vehicle for the coming of Jesus the Messiah.

No book in the entire Bible has had such an impact for theological conversion as Paul's Epistle to the Romans. St. Augustine came to Christ on hearing Romans 13:11-14; Martin Luther's study of the book brought him to an understanding of salvation by grace alone through faith; John Wesley's heart was "strangely warmed" as he listened to the reading of Luther's Preface to the Book of Romans at a little Moravian chapel in Aldersgate; and Karl Barth sounded the death knell of pre-World War I liberal theology with his Commentary on Romans.

In 1987, Dr. Montgomery delivered the annual Pascal Lectures at the University of Waterloo. In clear, precise, and easy-to-understand language, he details why the inter-relationship between human rights and Christian theology is so critical.

He then provides reasons why Christians, on the basis of that revelation, should be keenly interested and active in human rights issues.

On February 5, 1969, Drs. Montgomery and Steen were invited to the campus of DePaul University to debate the question "is there a supreme being - someone above me - who knows me, who watches out for me, who can help me, who is my guarantee of eternal life; or is man on his own in this universe?" Julian J. Steen was dean of the Chicago School for Adults and a well-known American humanist.

A classic debate between a Christian historian and theologian and a humanist on the historical evidence for Jesus. Dr. Montgomery is well known internationally for his lectures and writings on the historicity of Jesus and the reliability of the New Testament documents. He has set forth his case in books such as History and Christianity. Dr. G. A. Wells is also well known for his view that we have no reliable eyewitnesses to the events related in the New Testament.

Centuries ago St. Paul stated the issue succinctly: "If Christ was not raised from the dead, then neither our preaching nor your faith has any meaning at all" (1 Cor. 15:14, Phillips). Dr. Montgomery presents the case for the historicity of the resurrection and the reliability of the New Testament accounts of the resurrection. Dr. Grabbe, dean of the Theology Department at the University of Hull, argues that very little is known or knowable about what may have happened.
