My faith tradition is evangelical, but my formal theological training took place in a secular university and a mainline theological seminary. Even as recently as the last decade, the documentary hypothesis (for the Old Testament) and the two-source hypothesis (for the Gospels) are being taught as infallible fact, the only conclusion to be drawn from serious academic study. I was not aware that there are informed academic arguments to support the evangelical understanding of the Scripture until I read McDowell's book; what a pleasant surprise! I recommend this book to those of an evangelical faith who are engaged in the academic study of theology in institutions that perpetuate the rationalistic arguments of Scripture authorship; very useful to engage one's professors and fellow students in conversation, and not be coerced into "selling out" one's faith for a rationalistic, lifeless doctrine.

Josh McDowell is a master of deception.
Let me copy his style:
If Obama was God you would expect him to be:
1. Mild mannered
2. Try his best to help people have the health care they need
3. Make an effort to improve education
4. Have a friendly manner to all people of all races and religious beliefs
5. Be eager to protect the earth's environment
6. Wanting to wrestle money away from the greedy, overpaid, wealthy
7. Having a good sense of humor
8. Enjoy playing basketball

Now I can write a book proving that Obama is all of these things so he must be God!~
What a phoney! What is really sad is there are so many easily brainwashed people that will believe it all!
