WHO: Benjamin C.F. Shaw, president of Core Apologetics, adjunct professor of theology at Liberty University, and affiliate faculty member of Colorado Christian University. 

HE SAYS: “The New Testament enjoys a textual tradition that stands out in a crowd and provides an ‘embarrassment of riches’ for scholars.” 

THE BIG IDEA: This book explores evidence related to the New Testament’s historical credibility.

THE PROGRESSION: The author introduces 13 different arguments that each point toward the reliability of the New Testament. Each argument is presented in a chapter that offers guidance for exploring a wide variety of evidence including archaeology, authorship, text criticism and non-Christian sources.

“Such evidence does not change whether one is a believer, nonbeliever, or anywhere in between.”

When the church taps into the mission and the heart of God, she gets mobilized, she can get revived. We can see growth and new initiative.

David Kinnaman: Start the Conversation

Church leaders must recognize that what feels hidden is actually hurting people, and that discipleship includes helping people break free from destructive patterns.
