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 five decades. In every exchange where a challenge to the reliability of the New Testament has been presented, it is 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.

The evidence you will find in this book is the reason I stopped being an atheist 49 years ago. When we conduct an unbiased forensic examination of the historical manuscript evidence that exists for the New Testament, we can have only one conclusion: The men who wrote the New Testament cite in 396 citations, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as a historical fact that they personally witnessed.

This book contains 21 of the primary arguments that atheists, progressives, and critics present to refute the existence of God, the Bible, and the Historical narratives about Jesus in the New Testament.

In the 24 chapters of this book, we will examine the evidence that exists to impeach these primary assertions leveled against the New Testament. Each of these arguments is met with an apologia (defense) that proves what is written about Jesus in the New Testament is the best and most visible evidence for the existence of God and the reliability of the Bible.
