Book review by J.F. Foster
William Lane Craig is well known inside scholarly circles. Christian scholars regard him as one of the elite. And atheist scholars, along with prominent atheist websites, feel compelled to pay a great deal of attention to the writings and debates of Craig, in my view, because he has demonstrated [...]
Book review by Rich Deem
John Lennox, professor of mathematics and philosophy of science at Oxford University has written a book in reply to the New Atheists, which addresses the question of intelligent design in the universe. Lennox’s background is readily seen in his writing, which primarily consists of philosophical arguments against many of [...]
Book review by Ben Witherington Part Five of Six
In chapter five of his book, Bart Ehrman sketches out a basic narrative of the historical process which led to the production of the Gospels. I do not really disagree much with him about either the dating of the Gospels, or the Synoptic problem (i.e. the [...]
Book review by Ben Witherington Part Four of Six
We live in a text bound age full of litigious people concerned about copyright, intellectual property, and authorship in the modern sense. I have a friend in fact who is in fact a intellectual property lawyer. You don’t want to know all the permutations and combinations [...]
Book review by Simon Wenham

Book review by Thomas Wagner
I thought it would be appropriate to write a review of one of the most logical and well reasoned publications about the Resurrection. Frank Morison was a lawyer by profession. He set out to write a book that logically disproved and once and for all settled the question that [...]
Book review by Ben Witherington Part Three of Six
One of the valid points made by Bart Ehrman at various junctures in this study is that each Gospel needs to be allowed to have its own say. He is guarding against the tendencies to blend all the accounts together, and I understand this. What [...]
Book review by Ben Witherington Part Two of Six
In his first rate analysis of Edward Gibbon’s classic 18th century study, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, a work which set the pattern or paradigm for modern historiography with its basic skepticism or agnosticism about all things non-empirical, Jaroslav Pelikan in his [...]
Book review by Ben Witherington Part One of Six
Bart Ehrman is both a gifted writer and a gifted lecturer. Perhaps his best gift is the ability to distill difficult and complex material down to a level that undergraduates and ordinary lay folk can understand. It is thus understandable that his popular level books [...]
Book review by Ed Morrisey
Last week, I received Dinesh D’Souza’s newest book, What’s So Great About Christianity?, and found it immediately intriguing. The atheist movement has gained tremendous strength and intellectual vitality in the past few decades, and now features such luminaries as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins among its rhetorical front line apologists.
