Not as helpful as I expected, based on references to it in other books. It's not very easy to follow. Maybe that's just because I'm weak in philosophy, and the book gets fairly philosophical.

There are 3 parts, each making a case: the case for the Bible, Jesus, and Christianity. Topics include how we got the Bible, historical reliability of the Bible, support for J

God used this book to change my life. I highly recommend it to anyone that has questions about the evidence base for Christianity.

This book would be good for someone who feels they need all their questions answered before making any decisions. I tend to be much more intuitive in my decision making, so for me, it was something that was good for me to read, but I didn't have fun doin ...more
