Trustworthy

"""In light of the amount of misinformation in today's world about the reliability of the Bible, we cannot have too many books like Benjamin Shaw's to set the record straight. For an absolutely up-to-date and succinct introduction to a representative selection of key issues about New Testament trustworthiness, Shaw's little book is hard to top."" -- Craig L. Blomberg, distinguished professor emeritus of New Testament at Denver Seminary and author of The Historical Reliability of the Gospels ""Sometimes we need basic orientation to a topic. With as much debate about reliability as the New Testament generates, Trustworthy shows as a first step that there is good reason to be confident of the New Testament for many different reasons. This book is of special value to those new to faith or for those who have heard general objections to the New Testament and are looking for initial responses. The book also shows where follow-up can be found."" -- Darrell L. Bock, executive director of cultural engagement and senior research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary ""For those who are wondering about the credibility of the New Testament, Trustworthy proves to be an accessible guide toward building confidence in the biblical text. Step by step, Dr. Shaw lays out an easy-to-understand cumulative case for why and how the Bible can be trusted as a reliable source of information. Readers are invited to simply survey the supportive evidence of each chapter or head into the substantive footnotes leading toward deeper study. Either way, Dr. Shaw invites us all to come and see that the biblical claims of Jesus are worthy of belief."" -- Jana Harmon, teaching fellow at the C. S. Lewis Institute of Atlanta ""For Christians the New Testament forms their belief system and approach to life. Surveys have shown trust in the Scripture is at an all-time low. When the New Testament cannot be trusted, its message will not be accepted nor its truth applied. As a result, Christianity is facing an unprecedented decline. Dr. Shaw has written the right book to meet this need. His New Testament evidences are apologetic essentials, but his ability to communicate these on an entry level sets his work apart, making it accessible to both students and anyone with questions on why the New Testament can be a trustworthy guide for faith and practice."" -- J. Randall Price, former distinguished research professor of biblical and Judaic studies at the John Rawlings School of Divinity, Liberty University, and president of World of the Bible Ministries ""Benjamin Shaw's Trustworthy presents clearly and concisely the best arguments for the reliability of the New Testament. Although informed by the best of scholarship, Shaw communicates at a level that all readers can follow."" -- Craig A. Evans, John Bisagno Distinguished Professor of Christian origins at Houston Christian University ""Much of what we know about our final destiny depends on the accuracy of the New Testament documents. Are they trustworthy? This small but powerful book by Dr. Ben Shaw will show you, in an easy-to-understand manner, that the most important documents ever written are indeed trustworthy. That's good news for the ultimate Good News!"" -- Frank Turek, coauthor of I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist"
