Description: Although addressed to unbelievers as an invitation to approach the New Testament as reliable ancient literature rather than as a church textbook, this book will also help believers who struggle with doubts, whether from without or within, about the reliability of the authors and texts of the New Testament. The book lays out the case that the only reasonable way to read the New Testament is by accepting that its 27 individual texts are what was originally written and that their authors are the ones claimed in the respective titles – including Hebrews.
(I must apologize for the many typos in this book. I think it has more per chapter than any of my other books. I want to correct them all, but I have other priorities that are currently higher. Please overlook them because the value of the book is worth enduring the typos.)
