Bestselling author and Christian apologist Josh McDowell hopes The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict will further document historical evidence of the Christian faith. As such, it is a straightforward compilation of notes prepared for his lecture series, "Christianity: Hoax or History?" The entire book (over 750 pages) is laid out in outline form, which makes it easier for researchers, scholars, and students to access. As a result, this is not reflective fireside reading. Rather, it is a tool for locating supporting "evidence" whenever the need arises. Part I addresses the trustworthiness of the Bible; Part II offers historical evidence and supporting attestations for Jesus' claim to God; Part III addresses "radical Christian criticism" of the Bible; Part IV is devoted to quelling the voice of numerous skeptics, including "a defense for the existence of miracles" and "answers to divergent worldview."
Product Description
Evidence I & II-The classic defense of the faith: Now fully updated to answer the questions challenging evangelical faith today. The New Evidence maintains its classic defense of the faith yet addresses new issues. The New Evidence is destined to equip believers with a ready defense for the next decade and beyond

 The New Evidence November 18, 2008
This book is an amazing reference for the individual who does not know what to believe about the Bible as well as the young Christian who wants to be able to answer those difficult questions from non-believers.
An Appeal to the Mind August 25, 2008

This update of Mr. McDowell's original "Evidence" book should help it become a favorite for a new generation inquiring minds. A careful read is akin to taking a college-level course in Christian apologetics, except there's no final exam. It arms the reader with an enormous array of facts, figures, stunning quotations, and arguments that support the reasonableness of the Christian faith. It also debunks a lot of specious assertions against important tenets like the accuracy of scripture and the historicity of Jesus. It can be a huge eye-opener, even for people who grew up in a church. I particularly like the way he handles the "liar, lunatic, or Lord" question, the demonstration that today's scriptures are very close to the original writings, and the arguments that many people who saw the resurrected Christ were willing to die for their beliefs. If you want to be fully equipped to give a complete and compelling answer the question of why you believe what you do, you need to say more that "it works for me". (After all, in times of trial you will be asking yourself this very question!) A command of this material will provide you with innumerable legs on which your faith can firmly stand. This is not a quick read; it is more like diamond mining, where your persistence will be richly rewarded.

This is a readable book for the lay person. Very thought provoking. It is written in the comman man's language.

This is easily one of the best Christian books in print today. This book took my faith to the next level, and reinforced it with clear undeniable FACTS. It's a tough read, as the format isn't for relaxing bedtime reading, but you won't regret time spent studying this fantastic book.

This is an incredible tool for anyone studying the Bible, defending the Bible, or just wants a solid resource in this skeptical 21st century. I have found it profoundly informative and a must for anyone who wanted a more in-depth view of the Bible, History and profound truths therein.
