Evidence That Demands a Verdict, EBook : Fast Answers for Skeptics' Questions About Jesus

Among important books in the defense of Christianity, this one has few equals. Evidence That Demands a Verdict is an easy-to-read, front-line defense for Christians facing the tough questions of critics and skeptics. Using secular evidences and other historical sources, Josh McDowell's faith-building book is a "must read" for every Christian. Is Christianity credible? Is there an intellectual basis for faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God? Scholars throughout the centuries, as well as millions of students and older adults, would answer such questions with a resounding, "Yes!" That is what Evidence That Demands a Verdict, by Josh McDowell, is all about. His experience in speaking to student gatherings -- large rallies and small, plus classroom lectures and hundreds of counseling sessions, plus a magna cum laude degree from Talbot Theological Seminary and his extensive research on the historical evidences of the Christian faith -- have qualified Josh to speak and write with authority on the credibility of Christianity. - Foreword. No, this is not a book. It is a compilation of my notes prepared for my lecture series on "Christianity: Hoax or History?" There has been a dearth in the area of documentation of historical evidences for faith in Christ. Often students, professors and layman have asked, "How can we document and use what you and others teach?" It is my desire that these notes will help my brothers and sisters in Christ to write term papers, give speeches and inject in classroom dialogues their convictions about Christ, the Scriptures, and the relevancy of Christianity today. The proper motivation behind the use of these lecture notes is to glorify and magnify Christ -- not to win an argument. Apologetics is not for proving the Word of God but simply for providing a basis for faith. - Preface.
