Evidence That Demands A Verdict
Description
Is the Bible historically reliable?
Is there credible evidence of Christ's claim to be God?
Will Christianity stand up before 21st century critics?
Christians today face growing challenges to show that their faith is both relevant and credible. Josh McDowell's New Evidence That Demands A Verdict combines the two original best-selling volumes into one, maintaining their classic defense of the faith, yet answering new questions posed by today's culture.
Special features include:
- New research and documentation of archaeological evidence from the last twenty years
- Added chapter highlighting the quest for the historical Jesus and exposing major weaknesses of the "Jesus Seminar"
- Entirely new section covering such topics as the nature of truth, answers to postmodernism, skepticism, agnosticism, and mysticism, the certainty of the Christian worldview, and the knowability of history
- More effectively organized for convenient use
- Attractive new format featuring reader-friendly page design, charts, tables, diagrams, and sidebars
The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict will equip you with a ready defense for this decade and beyond.

Review
This is not light reading, but an exhaustively researched and bibilographed semi-reference for the evidence supporting the Bible in general, and specifically Christ. McDowell takes a careful and methodical path, starting with the bare foundation (Are relativism, universalism, and agnosticism valid? What is the Bible?), continuing with the infrastructure (Has the Bible been accurately preserved through history? Does the Bible contradict itself?), and finally completion (What are Christ's claims, are they credible, and is there historical evidence? What about the Jesus of the "other gospels"?). In short, a must for every Christian apologist's bookshelf. Pharos 00:57, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
