Wonderful Book - Although a little technical for some

This books gives wonderful background on the historical, factual evidence for life and death of Christ. The author systematically lays down the evidence point by point and chapter by chapter. One problem some readers may find is that the book is very academic at times and can seem like a text book to those who get bored easily. As an engineer, I enjoyed the way the book was logically laid out, but my wife couldn't get more than 1/3 of the way through before deciding that she'd had enough. It is also a lengthy book, over 300 pages, but it's well worth the time spent for those who are looking for bullets when discussing Jesus & the Bible's account of His life with non-believers. One nugget - many literary scholars doubt the truthfulness of the Bible by claiming there are many inaccuracies that have crept in over the years. However, we have thousands of orginal manuscripts of the New Testament books - some dating to less than 100 yrs after the actual events. These same literary scholars have no problem with the accuaracy of the works of Archimedes or Socrates or Julius Caeser despite the earliests known manuscripts for their works dating almost 1000 yrs after the documents were written. Of course, this isn't really a literary issue - it's a God issue - but it's noteworthy nonetheless.

Amateurish Writing; Astounding Information

The writing is sometimes a little amateurish as it includes hand-tipping phrases like "in the next chapter we will be getting into..." etc., etc. Nevertheless, the factual/historical information itself is such that it still renders it worthy of very high marks. It pretty much blows the doors off so-called "higher-critism" and shows you that Jesus was real, is real, and was and is exactly who He said He was/is. If an unbeliever reads this book and still goes away an unbeliever, he seriously has only himself to blame. They are without excuse (Romans 1).
