Can We Trust the New Testament?: Thoughts on the Reliability of Early Christian Testimony

Rating:
Summary: Skeptical, scholarly, and recommended
Review: Knowledgeably written by G. A. Wells (Emeritus Professor of German, University of London), Can We Trust The New Testament? Thoughts On The Reliability Of Early Christian Testimony is a meticulous exploration of whether the testimony that traces back to the origin of Christianity is truly reliable. Examining the sharply antagonistic sects that divided early Christianity from its very beginnings, and using the power of logic to evenhandedly evaluate the New Testament, Can We Trust The New Testament? is a skeptical, scholarly, and recommended for Biblical Studies collections and reading lists for it's practicality and for the intellectual necessity of pointing out what few other references to Biblical times do with respect to the reliability of these basic formative texts that have shaped the Christian movement from the first century A.D. down to the present day.
