Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisExamining the history of Gospel criticism, persistent allegations of inconsistency among the Gospels and information provided by extrabiblical sources, Craig L. Blomberg makes a comprehensive case for the historical reliability of these texts., The Gospels provide the most thorough account of Jesus Christ. But what if the stories about his life and work are legends?Scholars have occasionally cast doubt on the reliability of the Gospels. New approaches to biblical studies have only increased the challenges. Can we continue to trust the New Testament?Craig Blomberg reveals the faulty analysis and presuppositions that have led to mistaken conclusions about the Gospels, providing scholarly criteria for judging these books and biblical answers to our hard questions.
I haven't seen any book defending the historicity of the New Testament as highly recommended as Craig Blomberg's "The Historical Reliability of the Gospels." If you're skeptical, but open-minded, you're not likely to find a better resource.
Here is a fascinating look into the beginnings of Christianity with a prof who knows this turf so well.
If you want to grow in your faith, this is a great book. For you..
