Did the Reason for the Season even exist? Dive into that question with a new mobile app!

Reality Revolutions conceived an idea for a mobile application that would assist in quickly investigating every argument for and against the historical existence of Jesus. They then collaborated with me in developing its structure and content. The purpose? To house a complete catalog of every argument and item of evidence and make it all easy to find. And we’ve just begun building it. As such it will be continually updated to become and remain the most complete app for the purpose ever developed. Currently, it has no rival. It even includes an expandable Bayesian Calculator for users to test the consequences of their own assumptions in a valid application of probability theory. The calculator is user-programmable and can be used for anything, not just the historicity of Jesus. So that tool is valuable just by itself!

The app’s name is kind of a joke. But, to tell the truth, it’s also legitimately descriptive:

Christ’s
Historicity
Rebuttal and
Explanation
System:
Tools,
Utilities, and
Services.

The app is available now at Google Play (for Android) and the iOS Store (for iPhone and iPad). It’s currently in a rough launch version. It has a lot of typos and needs more content and better organization, but those things are all being worked on as we speak. A wonderful update will load by the end of January. And the app will continue to expand after that. By the end of the next year it should contain every argument and item of evidence for and against the historicity of Jesus, easily located and briefed, with web links for further research. It will be the ultimate tool for exploring and debating the subject. It’s already a good way there.

So download it now! (Android | iOS) Noodle around in it, and send me suggestions for improving and expanding it (you don’t need to mention typos, though; we are already fixing those; and I will not reply to all suggestion emails sent, but I will read and act on them all the same!). And then enjoy the free perpetual updates heretofore.
