The Evidences Of The Christian Religion

Questions about the reliability of the New Testament are commonly raised today both by biblical scholars and popular media. Drawing on decades of research, Craig Blomberg addresses all of the major objections to the historicity of the New Testament in one comprehensive volume. Topics addressed include the formation of the Gospels, the transmission of the text, the formation of the canon, alleged contradictions, the relationship between Jesus and Paul, supposed Pauline forgeries, other gospels, miracles, and many more. Historical corroborations of details from all parts of the New Testament are also presented throughout. The Historical Reliability of the New Testament marshals the latest scholarship in responding to New Testament objections, while remaining accessible to non-specialists.

While dealing with theological liberalism, a foothold was needed in order to define how to use reason when looking at the scriptural texts. Alexander made a huge leap forward in this work to justify how to use reason to defend the faith and also justify the miracles that are contained with the Bible. Although even today these works are still under attack, this work is a step forward.
