Summary: A Great Spiritual Tool for all Christians.
Review: This book is one of the best books I have ever read. It provides historically and biblically correct evidence regarding the resurrection and the bible. This book goes into a wide range of other religions and explains everything about them, their beliefs, faiths, and anything you will need to know. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Thanks Josh you wrote another great book.

Summary: Basically a Good Book
Review: This book will build your faith. It covers a lot of topics with which a Christian should be familiar.This work may not "prove" that God exists, as Mark S wrote in his review (he is an atheist, a position he must hold by faith in that he cannot prove God does not exist, and indeed, logic testifies against his position), but it can point to the logic that comes from the order and complexity in the world around us, as well as the testimony of others in the Scriptures. This is not a work written for scholars, but for ordinary folk. It is a good starting point, even if you wish to move on to the more scholarly works. I think it is unfair of one reviewer to accuse the author of band-aid answers. Besides, simple answers may also be true answers. In simplicity is often found the most elegant statement of truth. There are many scholarly works that defend orthodox positions if one wishes to do more research. Orthodox positions are represented as often as modernist positions. It just depends on whom you wish to read. I would recommend that those who are so inclined not limit themselves to the more liberal academics. However, you may not find a good representation of orthodox tomes in many secular school libraries. You will then need to look elsewhere. You may be surprised what evidence exists. You may still disagree, but it will be from an informed position and not an ignorant one.

Summary: An easy to read version of Evidence that demands a Verdict
Review: This contains much of the information from the evidence books, but not at in depth. This does not meen less, but more since the commentary and explanation of sources make for a much easier smoother read.

Summary: The Finest in Apologetic Sophistry
Review: Until, recently, I have never read any of the writings of Josh McDowell and quite frankly, I've never had the desire to do so. The ever aggressive Christian proselytes of the infamous Campus Crusade for Christ of my university have made it a standard to conveniently resort to the defense, "Read McDowell", whenever their incessant evangelism is brought under question. I have since decided to examine this defensive shield, the writings of Mr. Josh McDowell. It is an absolute mystery that the CCC insist on hiding behind such weak material, especially considering that they preach from the grounds of a university that has a very large collection of respectable, and scholarly resources in our campus library. Being a student of religion, I can honestly say that I have never read a more sophomoric attempt at apologetics than McDowell's "A Ready Defense" and his "Evidence..." It is indisputable that the Mr. McDowell has targeted the ignorant and superstitious masses as his prime victims for an audience. Everything from his extremely poor methodology to his deceptive manipulation based on distorted facts only begs for McDowell's dismissal as yet another theatrical lawyer. The ridiculously pretentious claim that Josephus actually believed Jesus to be the Messiah, and that he believed that Jesus rose from the dead, is a typical example of McDowell's severely fallacious reasoning, not to mention a perfect example of his shameless manipulation. His books do not deserve the respect of being regarded as informative. Rather, they belong on the shelves of other fiction writers. Regardless, McDowell's writings are worth a laugh for those who actually do read the scholarly works.
