Can We Trust the Gospels?

Discrediting the validity of the Bible would mean the the foundation of Christianity would be damaged. The Gospels are under specific attack since they speak about the life of Jesus. Can we be sure that they can be trusted and is there any other evidence that supports their trustworthiness? Peter J. Williams is sure they can be trusted.

With each chapter, he addresses topics such as other sources of information, did the authors know what they were writing about, did Jesus say what is recorded, and supposed contradictions. The information is fairly thorough, but not exhaustive. Williams makes it clear that the book is intended to be short and aimed at a broad range of people. Since each chapter deals with a particular aspect of the topic, it would be easy to reference whichever one you needed to find the information you’re looking for.

The book is written in an easy to read and understand way, so you won’t have to have a degree in Biblical studies to comprehend it. That makes it good for many ages and walks of life. It is aimed at people who may be wondering if what the Gospels say can be relied upon. However, anyone who reads it can find it useful, especially if they are wondering how to discuss the topic with others.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
