" They cannot establish the Christian claim that the New Testament completes the inspired record of divine revelation."

I also like the ramblings of the guy over the telephone tradition and how, while acknowledging generally bad memories in our species, spins it to mean we have historical accuracy LOL. Do YOU know the bible by heart? Do you know anyone who does?

I don't know about the book on Amazon as it has some excerpts but not the full text so I'll just quote a reviewer who has apparently read the book:

"What he misses, however, is what his faith position does not allow him to consider: the possibility that the gospels were theological constructions built on Old Testament and other stories as a result of a need for some 'biographical' narrative to illustrate an emerging Christian sect rooted in mysticism and other theological and philosophical roots in both the Diaspora Jews and Hellenistic philosophy."

Eyewitnesses ARE THE WORST and MOST UNRELIABLE source of information. Most eyewitnesses should be banned from the court system as they are: 1. unreliable, 2. biased, 3. have bad memories, 4. weren't paying attention anyway, 5. easy to influence.
