According to atheists and critics of the Bible, the New Testament cannot be trusted. If you read the comments made by atheist New Testament scholars, it quickly becomes evident that they do not believe the writers of the New Testament are telling the truth. A great number of books have been written in opposition to New Testament reliability by prominent atheist scholars. These books have caused many Christians to doubt their faith. Some former believers have left Jesus because they no longer believe that what was written about Him is accurate. Atheists, today, who assert that there are "no gods" and the God of the Bible doesn't exist, use the statements of these atheist New Testament scholars to try and justify their atheism. If you have ever had a discussion or debate with an atheist, you know that they often present very challenging assertions. I have engaged with atheists in more than one thousand debates over the last four decades. In every exchange where a challenge to the reliability of the New Testament has been presented, it is always by the same claims that have been repeated over and over again since the first and second centuries. None of the modern attempts at impeaching the reliability of the New Testament by modern atheist scholars is different from those first asserted by atheists at the beginning of Christianity. Why is the New Testament such a large target for atheists? These surviving texts present Jesus claiming to be God, performing miracles only possible by God, seen by eyewitnesses, crucified and risen from the dead; and all these events were immediately recorded in the largest surviving body of manuscript evidence of any event from antiquity. In short, the New Testament proves that God exists and He came to earth and showed Himself to us in the person of Jesus the Messiah. Because this evidence is incontrovertible, there has been a massive effort by atheist scholars to try and impeach these texts and the narratives written about Jesus. This book fully impeaches the primary 21 arguments presented today by atheist scholars, and proves that the narratives about Jesus in the New Testament are absolutely true and reliable. 1. "The New Testament was not written by eyewitnesses" 2. "The Gospels were written late in the first century" 3. "The Gospels were written anonymously" 4. "Paul never saw the risen Jesus" 5. "The New Testament is filled with contradictions" 6. "There are no contemporaneous, secular evidence for Jesus" 7. "The texts of the New Testament have been changed" 8. "The New Testament is filled with errors" 9. "The New Testament is not a valid historical narrative" 10. "Jesus never claimed to be God" 11. "The disciples of Jesus were illiterate" 12. "There is no historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection" 13. "The Gospel writers copied each other" 14. "A majority of scholars confirm the New Testament is not true" 15. "Eyewitness Testimony Is Not Reliable" 16. "Why Bart Ehrman Is Not A Reliable Scholar" 17. "The Errors of Old Testament Criticism" 18. "The Errors of Modern New Testament Criticism" 19. "There Are Discrepancies In The Bible" 20. "There Is No Evidence For God" 21. "Atheists Who Claim: 'I Was Once A Christian'" At the conclusion of this book, you will see that the 21 primary arguments presented by atheists, are easily impeached by a massive reservoir of evidence. The New Testament is the most beautifully written, honesty recorded, most accurate narrative in all the history of the world.
