I just ran across this freebie. I don't know for sure how long it's been marked down to $0.00, I hope that it stays that for a while.

The author, John Warwick Montgomery, is a prominent "apologist" of historic Christianity. Many consider him "to be the foremost living apologist for biblical Christianity" (taken from the opening of the book). He is a prolific writer.

Though half a century old now, this book is still a good one. And the subject is relevant, as there has been a resurgence in interest in "the historical Jesus" in the last few years because of the Jesus Seminar (or perhaps a resurgence in interest led to the Jesus Seminar?) and other things. If you have any interest in the topic of the historical Jesus, you will want to grab this book while it's free.

History, Law and Christianity: A Vigorous, Convincing Presentation of the Evidence for a Historical Jesus. By John Warwick Montgomery. Rated 5 stars, but from only 6 reviews at the present moment. Digital list price $9.99; Kindle price now $0.00. New Reformation Press, publisher. 131 pages. http://www.amazon.com/History-Law-Ch...storical+Jesus. The book may be free from other vendors, I did not check other vendors.

Book Description
A stirring defense of the faith by one of Christianity's ablest defenders. Dr. John Montgomery, scholar, theologian and apologist for the faith, developed this book from a seminar he presented at the University of British Columbia.

Readable and convincing, the book is divided into four sections:
Section One deals with four basic errors usually committed by those who attack the historicity of the New Testament.
Section Two defends the accuracy of the New Testament documents, using tests which are commonly applied to any ancient document.
Section Three, entitled "God Closes In," is a powerful defense of the truly divine and truly human nature of Christ.
Section Four clearly shows that if Jesus were not the Son of God, the only other alternatives are either liar or lunatic.

The book includes the transcript of a panel discussion in which Dr. Montgomery convincingly argues from the above four points to demonstrate their application for the reader. Here is excellent material for class discussion or individual study, particularly suited to helping young people combat humanistic concepts of the Bible and Christianity.

This edition also contains Dr. Montgomery's essay "Christianity Juridically Defended."
