The Historical Reliability Of The New Testament by Craig L. Blomberg
Countering the Challenges to Evangelical Christian Beliefs
A comprehensive, accessible defense of the New Testament’s historical trustworthiness, this work surveys authorship, dating, genre, textual transmission, and archaeological corroboration across the Gospels, Acts, the Pauline and General Epistles, and Revelation. It evaluates major critical challenges—alleged contradictions, pseudonymity, legendary accretions, miracle reports, and textual variants—by synthesizing internal and external evidence, comparisons with Greco-Roman literature, and early Christian and non-Christian sources. The result is a measured case that the documents credibly preserve core events and teachings about Jesus and the early church, while acknowledging areas of uncertainty and ongoing scholarly debate.
