Selected historical corroborations of details from all parts of the New Testament are also presented. A chapter on the unique problems associated with miracles rounds out the volume. This book is a fully stocked toolbox for anyone interested in whether we can still trust the New Testament in the twenty-first century. Blomberg answers the question with a ringing affirmative. --
