Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, taking a historical and geographical vantage point, reviews early evidence for the authenticity of the Christian biblical record. The author begins by examining well-known historical facts to demonstrate the presence and growth of the Christian community during the 3rd century. The author moves on to explore pagan literary sources, such as Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, and Lucian, who provide non-Christian attestations to the existence and spread of the early Church. Next, the author draws upon overtly Christian literature, including the Apostolic Fathers, Apologists, and other early Christian writers, to build upon the case for the historical reliability of the biblical record. Finally, the author examines monuments and other physical evidence that supports the existence of early Christian communities and practices. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the historical context and reliability of the New Testament.
