Description

From The Publisher:

Paul Barnett offers a careful historical analysis of the New Testament texts, taking into account evidence presented by the texts themselves and evidence provided by other religious and non-religious sources.
  • How accurate is the historical information in the New Testament
  • Were any writers of New Testament books eyewitnesses?
  • Is the New Testament a myth?
  • How biased were the writings of first-century Christians?
  • Is there any information apart from Christians sources?
  • How soon after Jesus' death were the New Testament documents written?
  • Were errors introduced as manuscripts were copied and translated through the centuries?


These are the questions Paul Barnett tackles in this clear and straightforward book. He considers how reliable the New Testament documents are in light of the evidence and standard methods of historical research. The answers will prove enlightening to anyone interested in the trustworthiness of the New Testament.
