This skeptic was convinced

This book convinced this skeptic over thirty years ago, and now I'm using it to convince my skeptical friends. The other books are good, but this one is small, easy to understand, and something that a skeptic might actually pick up and read.

Leads you into real belief

This book changed my life. It created a small seed of hope in me that eventually flourished into a life and faith that I thought was impossible to attain in this existence. It was laying around the house (actually strategically placed by my wife) and I thought it was one-sided Christian propaganda. But I picked it up one day and the most wonderful process begin. I recommend it highly if you want to start the search for something real and deep and lasting that can become the treasure of your life.

All open minded agnostics should read this book

If you are a truth seeking agnostic or atheist who does not categorically deny the possiblity of the supernatural you should read this book. You should also read this book if you are a Christian who does not know why you believe what you believe. This is the most comprehensive defense of Christianity that I have found.The case it makes is so convincing I was at first "certain" the evidence had to be tainted somehow. But, by using the references given in the footnotes, both for and against the argument, I verified (as can anyone else) that the evidence is presented fairly. This book is very dense and it will take perseverance to follow the argument from beginning to end. However, it is very well divided into individual criticisms which do not depend on the answers given in other areas. I recommend this book highly to everyone who is willing to spend time and thought searching for the truth. A less comprehensive, and perhaps more readable, book covering much of the same material is The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel.

Volume II: better for referencing than reading

This book (formerly called MORE EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A VERDICT) is heavier reading than MORE EVIDENCE, Vol. 1, and is more amenable to using as a resource, for selective perusal of topics, rather than reading it all the way through. (You can read it cover to cover, but it's not easy.) This second volume addresses things like archaeology, form criticism, literary criticism, and historical research into the claims of the Bible. Volume I deals more with the life of Christ and New Testament events.

very reliable and comprehensive book

This popular book contains a lot of scholarly information. It is written in a easy style. For those for want some more philosophical works, I can recommend the books of Geisler, Norman; Moreland, James; Craig, William; Geivett, Douglas; Kreeft, Peter; Habermas, Gary; Blomberg, Craig; Wenham, David. Some atheists (Internet infidels) have immoraly written many lies about this book, as they do on many other topics. Fortunately, their ignorance and lies are graciously refuted by J. P.
