Unabridged Audiobook
Highly recommend this book. It does read more like a textbook I'd have had in college for a senior level course. But it helps you understand what to look for in examining the Bible's contents. You don't have to be a genius to learn how to scientifically examine the evidence through a logical process. I really got learned a lot and will probably read it again. One of the books I will pass around to my friends and family.
Highly recommend this book to those wanting to explore the foundations of why they believe what they believe.
I think that Wallace did a good job with this book. However, it is plain that he is not a professional author. In that vein, the writing could have been clearer and better organized. But, the points made and the connections to verifiable stories made sense, and were easy to understand. What I liked the most about this book, is that it really makes it plain that we as readers and believers have no need of being scholars. It stands in the gap with other apologetic books, maybe not the best one out there, but certainly not the worst. Overall, I liked it a lot.
I believe the author to be a bit disingenuous. He wanted his readers to think of him as an unbiased witness, and using only the facts to reach a conclusion. But the reality is, he was very biased, and it was quite apparent. When debating issues, an argument is only as strong as its weakest link, and James Warner Wallace heavily pushed the Christian side of the toughest arguments, without giving their counter arguments, their fair explanation. Then he moved on, as if those tough arguments were not even in question he tried to persuade his readers by using the fact he was an investigator, as if that gives him more credence. I was very disappointed in the book
It was a bit confusing at times, however I got a lot out of it
Not a fan at all. It's all over the place. Super difficult to follow. I still don't know what I was supposed to learn.
