“It strengthened my faith further as Mr. McDowell gave insights on the reality of the life of Jesus Christ and the bible basing it on historical events and credible supports from other renowned theologians and historians.”

“This is my second read (I wasn't a Christian the first time.) I'm still not sure about all of his arguments. Some are solid, some are a little thin. He does a lot of what I call "using a word in its own definition" i.e. examining the bible for historical accuracy using other parts of the bible, or going to theologists for their thoughts on a matter.
Neither am I crazy about the chapter, "Isn't there some other way?"
My beef with his attitude and most of that of fundamental Christianity is that belief and love for Jesus' isn't enough - you aren't allowed to think that Buddha, Krishna, and any other avatar that ever existed has anything worthwhile to say. It's very "my way or the highway."Yet most apologetics are quite good and helpful and I'd rather have them than not. But because many of our perceptions are inherently atheistic the mind's grasp of linear "proof" as we want it is never going to satisfy like experiential, subjective, non-linear evidence.”

Yes | No“The old error used to be "Jesus was just a man" and this little book was/is an excellent response. Today we are heading toward either 'there is no God' or 'everyone is God'. That being the case, this book might be less usefull than it was 25 yrs ago, thru no fault of Mr.McDowell. Still a great tool in the toolbox. ”

“This is a really neat book that I think every Christian should read. It gets a little intellectual but it makes very good points that I hadn't really thought of. Fairly simple point, but one you probably won't think of until you read the book.”
