Wisdom from the apologetics classic Evidence That Demands a Verdict
Evidence that Demands a Verdict has been strengthening and encouraging Christians for 50 years. An expansive defense of Christianity's core truths, it offers rebuttals to some recent and popular forms of skepticism and insightful responses to the Bible's most difficult and misused passages. The book covers evidence for the Bible, for Jesus, for the Old Testament, and for Truth.
In their new book, Evidence for Jesus, Josh and Sean McDowell have adapted and updated the "Evidence for Jesus" section from their classic into a concise, readable, and accessible resource for those seeking answers about Jesus.
An ideal first-step into the world of apologetics, Evidence for Jesus is for:
- New Christians
- Bible study leaders
- Youth groups
- Those seeking to defend their faith
- Believers who want assurances about the claims of Jesus
- Anyone interested in the life, ministry, and divinity of Jesus

An accessible and resourceful launch pad into Christian Apologetics
I am currently in the Masters in Christian Apologetics program at Biola's Talbot Seminary and had the privilege to dive into this book on pre-release. I ended up buying an additional copy to give to an agnostic friend of mine who is on the fence about Christianity and God.This is a great book for Christians to share with friends or family who aren't sure about Christianity because it is very approachable, well written, interesting and makes a compelling case for Jesus that can be consumed in a 2-3 hour read. It's such a dense and relatively small book, great for gifting!I can't imagine a non-believer reading through this book and not being bothered by it afterwards (the good kind of bothered where the spirit of God is working to reveal the truth to them!). This book really makes you think about Jesus not just as a religious figure, but a historical figure...a real man of flesh and blood who lived, died, rose again, and claimed to be the son of God and our Lord and savior. The evidence for all of this is beyond compelling, and you can read about it in detail in this book.My favorite section is on the evidence for the resurrection, since all of Christianity hinges on whether or not Jesus physically rose from the dead. All of the apostles believed this happened, and were willing to die for their beliefs. The best and only viable explanation is that Jesus really did rise from the dead and appear to them and others afterwards. Make sure you read this section and encourage others to do so, it is the most compelling case for Christianity in my opinion and the evidence is very strong with the weak counterarguments easily defeated.Something else that I love about this book is that it manages to condense an incredible amount of research on the history, life and claims of Jesus with the perfect balance of light and "to the point" commentary. This book is perfect for those who want to see the best evidence for Jesus with the shortest amount of reading. It's a real compliment to the authors to be able to condense so much information and knowing what to include and what to leave out to make the most compelling case in 230 small pages. I think I will keep a few of these in my car as they might come in handy when I'm talking with a non-believer and want to give them a resource to investigate before continuing our conversation.Many atheists and non-believers often claim "how can you believe in something without a shred of evidence." Send them this book and challenge them to read the entire thing with an open mind. Aren't they a little bit curious about why we believe? I think they will find there are a lot more shreds than they thought, and those shreds add up to Jesus Christ being who He said He was and is!
