Review
Over the past fifty years many valuable books have been written in the area of Christian Apologetics. Several authors' names come to mind: C.S. Lewis, E.J. Carnell, B. Ramm, N. Geisler, C. Pinnock, J. McDowell, W.L. Craig, among many others. John Warwick Montgomery stands with them in a common mission. For nearly forty years he has persistently pointed thinking people to the cross of Christ, in his debates with unbelievers and through this apologetical writings. His recent work, Evidence for Faith, carries on the mission admirably. What makes this volume different from most others in its genre is (a) its multiple authorship and (b) its broad range of subject matter. The anthology contains no less than twenty essays written by nine scholars covering such diverse subjects as The Evidence from Cosmology, Biomedical Prescience, Messianic Prophecy, The Problem of Evil, and Legal Reasoning and Revelational Truth-Claims. The authors are especially well qualified in their disciplines, five of them having been trained in both science and theology. The thesis of Montgomery's essay, "A Juridical Defense of Christianity", is that legal reasoning, when applied to Christianity, " . . . results in a verdict for the Christian Faith." The justification for using such reasoning lies ": . . . in the difficulty in jettisoning it: legal standards of evidence develop as essential means of resolving the most intractable disputes in society . . ." The author employs legal reasoning to answer four key questions pertaining to the central truth claims of the Gospel. He examines: 1. the reliability of the historical records of Jesus 2. the reliability of the testimony concerning Jesus' life and divine claims about Himself 3. the resurrection as proof of his divine claims, and 4. the divine stamp of approval which Jesus placed upon the Bible. There are valuable insights to be gleaned throughout the essay, but perhaps especially interesting to the reader will be Montgomery's application of a fourfold legal test for exposing perjury to the question of the reliability of biblical testimony. Everyone who believes in giving evidence for faith should want to have a copy of this useful book. Review by Prof. Gary Colwell, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. -- Christian Legal Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 3, Spring 1993.
