I’m sorry to have been slack of late in my posts. But to begin a return to what I hope will be more regular blogging, I’d like to announce that my essay, “Can we trust what the Gospels say about Jesus?” (an earlier version of which was once available on this blog), has been published and is now available as a nice little booklet! You can have a look at it here (I’m assured by the publisher that it is now in stock).
This booklet is designed to be a brief and readable introduction to the questions that bear on the historical reliability of the Gospels. There are good books on this question out there already; but in my experience, not many people bother to read whole books on this topic — and giving a friend a book can be a bit daunting. I’ve been using this material for a couple of years now and think it can be really helpful for all kinds of people. And what I really hope is that God will use this to lead people to discover Jesus afresh in the Gospels.
So, please have a look, buy it if you’d like, and maybe encourage your church to buy a bunch if you think it’s worth it (there’s a discount on bulk orders):). I’d also love to hear any feedback you might have. Please feel free to email me: andrewerrington[at]gmail[dot]com.
Yay! Will be praying for this.
Mate, you know you want Gardner and me to hold a book launch for you
On a serious note, I’m stoked for this. Hope it serves well to advance the cause of Christ!
Great work mate. I look forward to leafing through it in Moore Books for free
(Don’t judge me. I’m not a candidate!)
I’d be up for the book launch on the condition that there’s a signing.
hey erro – that’s really cool. look forward to reading it and pimping it out.
Nice work. Now I’m really glad I downloaded the free version!
Sweet. Can i get my copy signed?
Nick
Ernge – I think you’re onto something with that book launch!
oh, and I think I’m going to buy one for a friend of mine.

Ditto what Byron said.
Concerning a putative launch-venue, how about Woodstock?
great stuff Andrew
look forward to using it
btw – is it meant to be read in the shower or on any tiled surface?
Congrats on your good write-up and copy in this month’s Briefing, by the way.
This is indeed an excellent book, but Michael, have you ever seen The Briefing give anything but a glowing review to anything MM publish?
Good point. On the brighter side, though, at least MM didn’t put a quote from Publisher’s Weekly on its blurb.
Ha. Yes, thanks folks. It’s nice to get some good press.
And thanks Shane. I think any tiled surface is ok.
