Very edifying. A lot of good explanation for the accuracy of the New Testament documents was provided. Quite a lot of information was provided for a relatively short book. This is a good introduction book to the subject of why the New Testament can be believed from a historical perspective.
One of the classic books on the New Testament documents. Perhaps dated, but it's still F. F. Bruce, one of the leading scholars in the field through the 20th century. This book is straightforward and informative for people investigating the matter for themselves.

A standard quick reference for Evangelicals seeking reassurance about their hermeneutic. It wears its age well.
NO OF PAGES: 128 SUB CAT I: Apostolic Writings SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: The Christian gospel is not primarily a code of ethics or a metaphysical system; rather, it is the good news of the world's redemption. At a particular time in the history of the kingdom of heaven invaded the earth - in the events of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christianity, then, is distinguished from other religions by having its roots in a specific period of time. Thus it is important that the writings that record the events prove to be reliable. F.F. Bruce presents in this study the most convincing evidence for the historical trustworthiness of the canon of the New Testament.NOTES: Donated by Tim Hegg.
