Lydia McGrew has written four evidences books that I know of. This is the second I have read, and it is every bit as good as the first one. Her aim every time is to prove that the Gospels are reliable reportage about what happened in first century Palestine with Jesus and his apostles. Most of her books are accessible to the average reader and this one is no exception.
Ms. McGrew makes new arguments and revives older ones that have been abandoned to show why we can trust the "four evangelists," as scholars call Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. And she shows without much regret why modern critical scholars, some of whom she names, are "all wet." Her chapters include things like Undesigned Coincidences, Unnecessary Details, Unexplained Allusions, and Unexpected Harmonies among others, to prove that what the gospel writers have left us is absolute truth, not made up stories. Some of these are things you and I take for granted, never realizing their value as evidence material. You will be emboldened by her arguments and ready to face your skeptical friends with new vigor. And you will learn more about the gospels than you ever have sitting in an auditorium Bible class!
