The Testimony of the Evangelists The Gospels Examined by the Rules of Evidence

2019 Reprint of 1874 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. How would the Gospels be regarded if they were submitted as evidence in a court of law? This fascinating question forms the basis for Simon Greenleaf's classic study of the rules of legal evidence as applied to the New Testament accounts of the life and teaching of Jesus. Applying the rules of evidence administered in courts of justice, Greenleaf demonstrates the validity of the Gospels as trustworthy and authoritative historical accounts in this forensic classic.
