Is the Bible historically reliable? Is there credible evidence of Chrst's claim to be God? Will Christianity stand up before 21st century critics? Christians today face growing challenges to show that their faith is both relevant and credible. Josh McDowell's New Evidence That Demands a Verdict combines the two original best-selling volumes into one, maintaining their classic defense of the faith, yet answering new questions posed by today's culture. - Back cover.
