Three persons named James are mentioned in the New Testament, and it has been a question which of these persons . We must remember that James was a Jewish Christian. James apparently never left the Old Testament church

Three persons named James are mentioned in the New Testament, and it has been a question which of these persons was the author of our Epistle. Some have thought that the author was James, the brother of John and the son of Zebedee; but this seems quite impossible, because he suffered martyrdom in the year 44, before the dispersion of the Jewish Christians which is mentioned in its opening words. James apparently never left the Old Testament church. James apparently never forsook the worship and service of the temple.

Is the Bible reliable - or has is it been corrupted? Many popular sources, ranging from Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code to Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, claim that the New Testament as we know it has been corrupted, damaged, or tampered with. Are these charges true? Or can we trust the New Testament? In this volume, prominent Internet apologist James Patrick Holding will take a closer look at four aspects of the transmission of the New Testament, and answer these important questions: • Was the New Testament material corrupted when it was passed on by word of mouth, before it was written down? • Was the New Testament material corrupted as it was copied in writing in its early years? • Was the New Testament material really written by the people whose names are on the books? • Was the New Testament canon judiciously selected? Learn the answers to these critical queries, and you'll learn our reasons for Trusting the New Testament! "I am confident that this work by James Patrick Holding will be a valuable asset to anyone who is in need of powerful evidence and information regarding the integrity of the New Testament." - Dr. Richard Howe, Professor of Philosophy and Apologetics, Southern Evangelical Seminary (from the Foreword)

Holding provides the reader with a comprehensive yet not exhaustive theological/apologetic piece of literature. He covers the oral and textual transmission of the New Testament. Additionally, and most importantly, he covers the authorship and canon of the NT. This material is a breath of fresh air as it provides "much needed counter arguments to secular academia's skeptical conclusions regarding the integrity of the Bible." Other than the rather long section on the oral history of the NT, the other sections are short and to the point with notes after each section's conclusion. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is weary of atheists/secular/academia dominating the conversation. This material will educate you on the facts about the overall history of the NT.

One of the most informative books I've ever read. The vocabulary in this book is a little thick, but the information is invaluable. I give this book a huge thumbs up.

Having recently finished reading through this book by JP Holding (author of "Shattering the Christ Myth" see my earlier review), I must say I enjoyed reading it and found it helpful both in understanding the author's evangelical point of view and understanding that one can make reasonable arguments in favor of Traditional authorship of the Christian writings that make up the "New Testament" in the Bible.

I give this product 4 stars as I feel it is not quite the slam dunk that "Shattering the Christ Myth" was, and he ventures a little more into pure Christian apologetic. This is not to say it is worthless, but it will have a more limited appeal. This time, instead of engaging most amateur conspiracy theorists, his targets including so-called liberal and "radical" scholars, especially biblical "Higher Critics." There is a nice section addressing the popular "telephone game" argument against the reliability of ancient texts which is helpful. Essentially the book helps the reader understand the process of remembering the life of Jesus, writing it down, and the process that went into collecting the New Testament into a canon, as well as the process of preservation of ancient texts, and how historians attempt to determine what most likely happened in the past. Through the lens of a discussion of whether we can "Trust" the New Testament, Holding provides a concise primer on historical criticism, as well as asking how we know what we think we know.

In many cases, Holding admittedly strays out from mainstream scholarship in his assertions about certain texts. Off hand, I could only recall two times however when I thought he had made a genuine mistake. The breadth of the book's positions were reasonable, even if some were held by only a minority of scholars. He is certainly correct in that well publicized groups like the Jesus Seminar do not actually represent the majority of scholars in the field, and are far from unbiased.

Suffice to say that even though I, as a Christian and a holder of a Masters level degree in religion, don't agree with everything he wrote in this text, I still find it a valuable source worth reading, full of reasonable arguments.

Many of course have attacked the author, saying that mocks his opponents and has an attitude problem online. No trace of this is present in this text. In fact, if anything, I would say that he shows more professionalism and respect for his opponents in this work than in his previous one. So comparing his personal websites to this book is like night and day. As with the previous volume in the "Building Block" series, it is the size of a magazine, with a softcover, a format I dislike but can live with. He cites his sources and presents his arguments in a format that is easy to read and understand for the amateur and expert alike. The book is made up of articles some by other writers and some by Holding himself.

Lots of good information without being too overwhelmed.

JPH lays it out very well, JPH tackles many issues.

If you believe anything historical from 1700+ years ago-- then it is very hard to justify not acknowledging the fact that the textual evidence of the New Testament is superior to other events in history that you already believe....

I have even contacted JPH with a few questions and to my suprise he actually takes the time to write back everytime. How many authors will do that?

Hirah

Think there's a gap between reason and faith? No, there isn't. Faith in God is reasoned and reasonable. This book gives you the evidence in a simple format. It's good for the average Christian who needs to know more about the Bible.

J. P. Holding I must say is the best apologist out there being that there isn't a thing any critic could raise against him that he can't answer. He does a wonderful job of presenting the reliability of oral tradition and why the New Testament is at least one ancient collection of writings that we can trust has been preserved well. My only beef is that he tries to defend that Matthew wrote the gospel attributed to him and some of the letters of Paul. I still think it very unlikely that Matthew could have written his gospel, especially since he relies on Mark for his own call as a disciple. And I'm still pretty convinced Titus, 1 Timothy, and Colossians were not written by Paul. I have no problem with 2 Thessalonians or Ephesians and I am certain 2 Timothy was written by Paul, but not the other disputed letters. Other than that, I think many will find this book to be a helpful resource.

J.P. Holding has many good intentions, but his efforts in apologetics are marred by his use of mockery and insult. As a brother in the Lord I cannot support Holding's ministry. Mockery and insult have no place in any ministry representing Jesus Christ, much less apologetics. Often Holding even likes to insult other Christian ministers like in this following quote insulting Francis Schaeffer. "Schaeffer was not a serious Biblical scholar but a theologian with' no relevant credentials for contextual exegesis. His son Franky is a legacy of his lack of competence in that regard."
