CRI Resource: Testimonies to the Truth: Why You Can Trust the Gospels

With Lydia McGrew’s arguments in hand, you will never be stumped when someone asks, “Why should I believe what the Bible says about the life and teachings of Jesus?” McGrew points to Jesus Himself, true God and true man, the One who teaches, loves, and suffers for us, described by the Gospels in vivid and credible detail. Categories of evidence covered include undesigned coincidences (puzzle-like connections between the details in different Gospel stories), little-known facts from outside the Bible that confirm details in the Gospels, unexplained allusions and unnecessary details (little things that the authors mention apparently just because they are true), the personalities of Peter, Martha, and Mary in stories from different Gospels, and the unified personality of Jesus Himself.
