`Evans has made out a good case for Christianity's being logically
coherent, even credible.'
Church Times
`It requires no more than a basic philosophical training to find
the argument both lucid and refreshingly free of dogma and
presupposition. Evans has made out a good case for Christianity's
being logically coherent, even credible.'
Anthony Harvey, Church Times
`Evans has made out a good case for Christianity's being logically
coherent, even credible.'
Ven. A.E. Harvey, Church Times
`This is a remarkable book ... Unlike most works of its kind, it is
written by a philosopher who has dabbled in Biblical Studies, not
(as is so often the case) the other way round. The result is a
profound and moving defence of the need to ground the life and work
of Jesus in what would be recognized by others as 'history'. Those
of a basically Reformed outlook will be inclined to share Dr Evans'
views ... It certainly deserves to be widely read and studied
in evangelical circles, where Dr Evans' robust convictions will
warm the hearts of many. He is to be congratulated for producing
such an outstanding work in a field which he admits is not his
own.'
Gerald Bray, Churchman
`This is an interesting and intriguing book, a clear and readable
account of a thesis that is fundamentally problematic ... he offers
a viable philosophical account of faith as a form of knowledge ...
Evans has read widely and offers a careful and balanced view of
various positions as he gradually unfolds the theme.'
Theology Today
`He explores clearly and with considerable scope issues that have
exercised biblical scholars, theologians, and philosophers for
generations ... Evans's study is commendable for its analytical
equilibrium and comprehensive grasp of the New Testament field's
scholarly diversity.'
Choice
`Evans questions and challenges the reader to acquire a new insight
and respect for the validity of the core story of the gospel.'
