Josh McDowell - 2004;1999;

Heres a treasure trove of apologetic gems! This is an indispensable book that all Christians should keep within reach. Countless people benefited from the original version, but this updated and expanded edition makes this volume even more valuable and timely. Thank you, Josh and Seanthis classic resource has my very highest recommendation!

LEE STROBEL, bestselling author of The Case for Christ and professor of Christian Thought at Houston Baptist University

This book changed my life. It showed me the staggering welter of evidence for the historicity of the Bibleand convinced me that having faith in the biblical God is infinitely more rational than not having such faith. Any agnostic or atheist reluctant to become a Christian must take every precaution available to avoid this book.

ERIC METAXAS, author of Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World and host of the nationally-syndicated Eric Metaxas Show

In 1972, shortly after the accident in which I became paralyzed, I picked up a book that helped solidify my belief in God and faith in Christ. Still struggling to accept my wheelchair, I needed rock-solid evidence that there was a personal God who genuinely cared about my plight. Evidence That Demands a Verdict was that remarkable book, and I'm so happy that this timeless classic is now updated and being released to a whole new generation of readers! Cant recommend it enough!

It is not without reason that Evidence That Demands a Verdict has stood the test of time with readers around the world for nearly four decades. Josh McDowell has not only been a pioneer in the field of apologetics and worldviews but a friend and encourager to many, including me. I am thrilled that he has partnered with his son, Sean, to update his classic book and know it will challenge and inspire you.

Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands a Verdict is now a classic of apologetics, having served to spur a renaissance of historical Christian evidences in our day. It is therefore a welcome development that this classic has now been updated in light of the recent and significant advances in biblical studies and particularly in historical Jesus studies.

It remains a valuable collection of information on issues people raise to challenge the faith that not only gives the key data points but allows you to track the conversation in key resourcesa real treasure.

When I was searching for answers to my doubt, Evidence That Demands a Verdict helped to keep my eyes, heart, and mind open to the truth. This new edition not only revisits the arguments from the original work, but considerably strengthens those arguments with up-to-date research from top biblical scholars. This new work is an apologetics multivitamin for the person seeking a healthy diet of truth. I was so excited to see the legacy of Josh McDowells ministry carrying on through his son, Sean. The excellence in argumentation with the father-son author combination makes this book a true one-of-a-kind!

As I think about how to help students and young adults thrive in a culture that is hostile to Christian thought, I'm most concerned about helping them access not just the best information, but the best relationships and mentorships.

One of the things I like about it is how clearly all of the relevant topics are laid out. The problems, the challenges, and grounds for skepticism are clearly and fairly expressedthere are no straw men. Josh and Sean McDowell do not dodge the issues; they tackle them head on and do so in an informed and compelling manner. Evidence That Demands a Verdict will serve well another generation.

Josh McDowell was one of the first guests to feature on my radio debate show Unbelievable? and Sean has been one of the most recent. I've been hugely impressed by both generations of Christian thinkers. In this new edition of Evidence That Demands A Verdict, their combined knowledge, integrity and passion for sharing the gospel has produced something truly special.
