Evidence That Demands a Verdict

Life-Changing Truth for a Skeptical World

By: Josh McDowell, Sean McDowell PhD

Narrated by: Josh McDowell, Sean McDowell PhD, Bob Souer

The modern apologetics classic that started it all is now completely revised and updated - because the truth of the Bible doesn't change, but its critics do. With the original Evidence That Demands a Verdict, best-selling author Josh McDowell gave Christian audiences the answers they needed to defend their faith against the harshest critics and skeptics.

Since that time, Evidence has remained a trusted resource for believers young and old. Bringing historical documentation and the best modern scholarship to bear on the trustworthiness of the Bible and its teachings, this extensive volume has encouraged and strengthened millions.

Now, with his son Sean McDowell, Josh McDowell has updated and expanded this classic resource for a new generation. This is a book that invites listeners to bring their doubts and doesn't shy away from the tough questions.

• Thoroughly revised and updated from the previous edition
• Now coauthored by Josh McDowell and Sean McDowell
• All-new chapters defending against the latest attacks from Christianity's critics
• Designed to be a go-to reference for even the toughest questions
• Offers thoughtful responses to the Bible's most difficult and extraordinary passages
• Expansive defense of Christianity's core truths, including the resurrection of Jesus Christ

Comprehensive, a bit too literal, but solid

This is probably the most comprehensive and exhaustive look into the historicity of the entire Bible. It is so much more than Case for Christ and Cold Case Christianity, and a different beast than Mere Christianity or Simply Jesus. This is not the breezy repartee of Rob Bell or Pete Enns and does not ha e the classical beauty of CS Lewis. But it is a good book. I read it on Kindle a couple of years ago and had similar pros and cons. I’m a liberal progressive Christian and found some of the stuff in here just wrong or at least poorly construed. 50% of it is told straight without much bent, but another portion is too conservative and a decent amount is just far too literal. I’m a Christian but I’m also a math and science teacher (and a history major). I do not need literal proof of the OT. The entire gist rests on the resurrection and I accept that, burnt out does not mean you have to accept literal cosmic origin stories, impossible ages of human, or much of the OT “history.”
The narration is passable, hence the 3 stars. The book lends itself to reading more than listening but it’s still an ok listen.

Fantastic scholarly work

Evidence is one of the most thorough treatments in the subject of apologetics that I’ve read. It is well organized, well researched, and easy to understand.

This book is well worth the effort of diving into its content.

A Good Book

This was a good book but a better resource. I have the physical copy which is great for referencing but hard to read. The audio copy is difficult with referencing but much easier to get through and understand.

loved it

I will of course have to revisit this one as a later date. too much info at one time.

excellent book!

I agree with a one-star rating that I saw here that complained that was too much material and two dense for an audiobook for me. Yes that is true, but it is a true reading of the book and the content is amazing deep and thorough. I would recommend getting the hard copy so you can dog tag, highlight and refer back more easily but that is not a criticism of The reading of this book.

Great book for hungry Christians

Excellent book for a Christian desiring to understand more about Jesus, about the Bible, and about history. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to have a deeper knowledge of Christian beliefs.

very thorough. not hard to listen to while driving

I also have now bought the print copy for reference. good to refer to when someone asks

Absolutely Amazing

So many new questions and objections to Christianity have been presented by skeptics and atheists over the last few years, and this book does an amazing job to poke holes in those questions and helping the reader to gain a solid grasp on why they believe. Highly recommended.

Great information for both non Christians and Christian

Excellent for all to listen to know matter what side of the debate you are on

Fair Handling of Evidence/Arguments

Well done, clear and fairly current in our world of Worldviews. There seems to me to be a current deluge of evidence in support of a Christ-centered, Biblical and spiritual Worldview, almost as if it is being revealed at this woefully sinful and politically tumultuous time we live in where everywhere you look is corruption and acceptance of, even promoting, lies as truth.

Check out the authors on YouTube. There is a lot of good material there.
