Summary: A well-organized, comprehensive reference for faith
Comment: This book, like any other apologetic work, has its strengths and weaknesses. While it is true that it treats each topic briefly, it nonetheless is a handy reference tool for basic and thoughtful responses to critics.
Critics and unbelievers will always be unbelievers unless the Spirit of God softens their hearts, so don't expect any apologetic work in of itself to convert an unbeliver. McDowell's Evidence book does provide a wealth of circumstantial evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ and other Christian beliefs. One's assumptions are ultimately important when reading this book and judging if Jesus truly is the Lord of the earth. If one reads this book with the assumption that miracles are impossible, the Bible writers are all liars, and somehow science has "disproven" everything, then one shouldn't even waste their time.
This book succeeds in one incredible way - it emphasizes the historical evidence, the Bible's text. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical question, not a scientific one. Science cannot prove nor disprove miracles, for miracles are additions/exceptions to the natural laws and thus cannot be measured or tested by scientific methods. But the event, whether Jesus rose from the dead, is a historical matter. And this book adequately shows that much of the evidence favors the historical resurrection of Jesus Christ. Of course critics and skeptics will come up with all kinds of ways to dismantle this, but the bottom-line is that this book organizes nicely various reasons that the Christian faith has promoted the same message for nearly 2000 years... that Jesus died and rose again, and that this event can be trusted as a historical, objective reality. Is it the type of evidence that modern skeptics would like? Of course not, because modern skeptics demand precise CNN-news style reporting from writers two millennia ago. Even if the resurrection of Jesus were caught on a news camera, a skeptic would find ways to doubt this historical event. Special effects, actors, a false location, whatever, somehow in some fashion something would be proposed to deny this historical event. McDowell succeeds in presenting a book full of helpful circumstantial evidence that when combined overall, provides a most compelling and convincing case for faith in Jesus Christ.

Summary: A Student's Best Defense
Comment: Although there are many books on Christian apologetics, The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict is ideal for students (college students in particular). New Evidence is a defense of Christianity that covers topics from the accuracy of the Bible (i.e., Is the Bible the inherent Word of God?) to Jesus Christ (i.e., Ia Jesus the Son of God as described in the Bible?) to Skepticism and Postmodernism. Josh McDowell quotes material from authorities in a vast array of fields (philosophy, history, archeology, law, theology, etc.). McDowell provides complete citations for all of his quotes, enabling students to conduct further research and use the original sources. I recently wrote a philosophy paper and this book was an invaluable aid. With the insights New Evidence gave me, I was able to write an A+ paper that actually convinced my philosophy professor of some things that he previously disagreed with! I recommend this book in the strongest possible terms! Every student--every Christian--should have a copy of this powerful defense of the Christian faith. As McDowell says, "the Christian faith is an intelligent faith."
Rating: 5
Summary: A MUST READ!
Comment: This book is simply amazing. It's a must read for all Christians. It's a great way to prepare yourself to witness. If you're questioning your faith or if you know someone who is questioning their faith, I urge you to read this book. Thank you Josh McDowell.
