Trustworthy

Thirteen Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament

By: Benjamin Shaw, Gary R. Habermas - foreword

Narrated by: Asa Siegel

How do we know the New Testament is reliable?

It matters—but discussions on whether the New Testament is historically accurate can be tedious and overwhelming. We want to be confident that the reports in the New Testament are true and dependable, but scholarly discussions around the authenticity of the events recounted in Scripture can be challenging to navigate.

Dr. Ben Shaw provides the clear introduction we've needed for understanding the New Testament's historical reliability. In his book, Trustworthy, he systematically surveys key issues related to New Testament reliability and provides guidance for those setting out to explore the evidence. Concise, to-the-point chapters equip listeners to answer the challenging questions one encounters when discussing the credibility of the New Testament. Addressing a wide variety of evidence including archaeology, authorship, text criticism, and non-Christian sources, Shaw leads listeners through the key scholarly topics related to New Testament reliability.

Here's the truth: we can trust the New Testament not only for its historical accuracy but also as a guide to life.

Numerous aspects of to show the reliability of the truth of the New Testament.

Very informative about the many topics and examples of reliability and authenticity of the New Testament.

Great book, poor voice

Dr. Shaw does a great job presenting clear and concise arguments for the New Testament's reliability. I have met Dr. Shaw and have enjoyed his presentations at the Southern Evangelical Seminary's annual apologetics conference in North Carolina. He has a warmth and wit that's very affable. Sadly the narrator wasn't able to convey Dr. Shaw's personality and cadence and made me think that if Spock were to design a communications droid, like C3PO in Star Wars, that is what the results would sound like. Otherwise it's an enjoyable audio book and very easy to understand.

Accessible, concise, summary.

This is an easy read. Its short but weighty length gives information akin to drinking from a fire hose. Enough information is provided to provoke the reader to further investigation and examination into the multifaceted reliability of the various Books of the New Testament. While being short enough for a diligent reader to finish in a single day, "Trustworthy" has potential to be referenced frequently as a wonderful collection of arguments in favor of acceptance the early Christian writings. Confidence may be placed in them because as Dr. Benjamin Shaw says, "Indeed they are trustworthy."

Excellent book!!

Shaw provides some of the most compelling reasons that authenticate the message of the New Testament. This book should be read by any Christian, pastor, scholar or layman seeking to better understand the reliability of the biblical text!

Very interesting material!

The content is very interesting and informative. Good brief intellectual discussions without going so far in depth as to lose us normal folks. The reader sounds like a machine, I would have preferred some personality.
