Evidence That Demands a Verdict

By Josh McDowell and Sean McDowell

4 stars

This book was a rigorous yet engaging exploration of the historical and intellectual foundations of Christianity, making it a valuable read for teachers who enjoy teaching students to think critically or those who teach Religious Education or History. The book draws on history, archaeology, textual evidence, and philosophy to argue that Christian faith can stand up to serious scrutiny, avoiding emotional appeal in favour of well-researched, logical reasoning. Its greatest strength is its depth—it works exceptionally well as a reference text for teachers, senior students, or anyone addressing questions of belief, doubt, or worldview in the classroom. However, that same thoroughness can feel dense at times, and if you're a reader looking for a more narrative or devotional style, you may find it heavy. The book also approaches its evidence from a clearly Christian framework, which may limit its appeal for those seeking a more neutral stance. Overall, it is a compelling and thought-provoking resource for teachers who value evidence-based discussion, critical inquiry, and robust theological engagement.
