"In 1943 F. F. Bruce, the distinguished New Testament scholar wrote
a classic work, The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?
Many challenges to the credibility of the Gospels have been raised
since then by some skeptical scholars. Craig Evans, with a mastery
of all of the relevant archaeological, inscriptional and literary
evidence answers in a lucid exposition the question discussed by
Bruce with a resounding 'Yes'." Edwin M. Yamauchi, Professor
Emeritus of History, Miami University
"A masterful, erudite, and well-written review of the archaeology
of the world of Jesus. Highly recommended for scholars and students
alike." Shimon Gibson, Chair of the Department of Archaeology,
University of the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and author of The Final
Days of Jesus: Archaeology as Evidence
