Product Description
From Amazon
Bestselling author and Christian apologist Josh McDowell hopes The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict will further document historical evidence of the Christian faith. As such, it is a straightforward compilation of notes prepared for his lecture series, "Christianity: Hoax or History?" The entire book (over 750 pages) is laid out in outline form, which makes it easier for researchers, scholars, and students to access. As a result, this is not reflective fireside reading. Rather, it is a tool for locating supporting "evidence" whenever the need arises. Part I addresses the trustworthiness of the Bible; Part II offers historical evidence and supporting attestations for Jesus' claim to God; Part III addresses "radical Christian criticism" of the Bible; Part IV is devoted to quelling the voice of numerous skeptics, including "a defense for the existence of miracles" and "answers to divergent worldview."
Book Description
Evidence I & II-The classic defense of the faith: Now fully updated to answer the questions challenging evangelical faith today. The New Evidence maintains its classic defense of the faith yet addresses new issues. The New Evidence is destined to equip believers with a ready defense for the next decade and beyond.

Detailed answers to questions nobody asks,
By W. Calvert (Murray, Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict: Fully Updated to Answer the Questions Challenging Christians Today (Hardcover)
It probably is good that there exist books like this. It may even be beneficial for a Christian to own such a book and to periodically leaf through it for ideas. However, this does not mean that we all need to read them. Thank goodness.As encyclopedias of academic answers to boring academic questions go -- and let's face it, such questions and the need for answers to them are a fact of life -- this one seems pretty good. It is fairly complete and has an extensive bibliography. However, the text is extremely dry (presumably to let us know just how serious the book is), and most of the questions never challenge anybody. However, the book is fair in admitting its place in the world. Most folks that are Christians are not Christians because they've been convinced by a thorough search of the philosophical literature, and most folks that are not have made that decision for reasons other than arcane logical paradoxes and historical clericalisms which, if they were but turned to the right book for an answer, would entirely satisfy them. Thus, this is a fine book for the very small niche it fills in the world.

A whole lot of facts,
By Benjamin Douglass (Herndon, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict: Fully Updated to Answer the Questions Challenging Christians Today (Hardcover)
Mr. McDowell has compiled an impressive amount of information about the historical validity of the Bible. He has also presented a convincing case against the documentary hypothesis. Contrary to many of the reviews posted here, he does not rely entirely on "argument from authority" (though perhaps he overuses it a bit). The big problem with this book is that, whenever it gets into the realms of philosophy and theology, it comes off as extremely shallow. This book is worth getting, but start on chapter 3 and stop after the C. S. Lewis essay.
