Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. reviews: If you are a truth seeking agnostic or atheist who does not categorically deny the possiblity of the supernatural you should read this book. You should also read this book if you are a Christian who does not know why you believe what you believe. This is the most comprehensive defense of Christianity that I have found.The case it makes is so convincing I was at first "certain" the evidence had to be tainted somehow. But, by using the references given in the footnotes, both for and against the argument, I verified (as can anyone else) that the evidence is presented fairly. This book is very dense and it will take perseverance to follow the argument from beginning to end. However, it is very well divided into individual criticisms which do not depend on the answers given in other areas. I recommend this book highly to everyone who is willing to spend time and thought searching for the truth. A less comprehensive, and perhaps more readable, book covering much of the same material is The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lets be honest: people will believe WHAT THEY WANT. If you want to believe in Jesus, you will. If you want to believe that either Jesus didn't exist, or he wasn't from God, you will. This book is a great book that is in outline form with clear and precise arguments. It addresses several issues non-believers have with Christianity. It is not the end-all be-all of book, but it's a great start. This book wittles away at the illogical arguments against Christianity and the Bible, but it will only be effective if the reader has an open mind. I didn't give it five stars because it is far from an 'easy,' casual read. It is a great reference book. I also recomend the 'Case for Christ,' 'Case for Creation,' and 'Case for Faith' by Lee Strobel, written with the same sentiments as "Evidence." 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. <br/><br/>
