Synopsis

Is it primitive to believe in God and the Bible? Can there be harmony between faith in God and the findings of science? Is the natural world really all there is, or is there something more?Attorney Jim Jacob has taken on the biggest case of his career: the case for his faith in Yeshua (the Hebrew name of Jesus). Utilizing his nearly 40-years of legal experience, Jacob presents evidence for the existence of God, as well as the historical validity of the Bible, and the life, death, and resurrection of Yeshua, among many other topics. As he would do in a courtroom, Jacob anticipates and systematically refutes many of the rebuttal arguments. Jacob understands the perspective of skeptics, as he was a Jewish atheist for the first 39 years of his life. As if he were speaking to a jury, Jacob lays out his evidence in an easy-to-follow yet persuasive and thoroughly documented manner to address such important questions as: Does God exist? Can the Bible be used as historical evidence? What guidance does the Old Covenant provide so that we will recognize the Messiah? Is there historical evidence for the resurrection of Yeshua? Can God exist amidst a world filled with suffering? When an individual is requested to serve on a jury, he or she is asked to set aside any biases and serve impartially as a juror, giving both sides a fair trial. If you desire to objectively assess the evidence and determine whether there is any validity to the claims of the followers of Yeshua, then this book is for you. While great efforts have been made to make this book easy to read, it has not lost its scholarly qualities as it has been used in a Master's level seminary class.
