"This volume is well-written in an accessible tone and style."
*Chris Keith, SCJ, Spring 2009*
". . .a strong defence against claims from a fellow textual
criticism scholar, Bart Ehrman. Fills a deeply needed void, in that
it continues on Ehrman's path in making textual criticism even more
accessible to readers without formal theological schooling, while
systematically addressing the allegations of textual fallacy raised
by Ehrman. While succesfully meeting a large swathe of charges
against the validity and trustworthiness of the NT, the book is
also a wonderfully easy and concise introduction to the history,
background and treatment of the Gospels."
*Samuel Ciszuk, Chrisendom (www.christilling.de/blog), January 23,
2009*
"Good reply to Ehrman and gives direct corrections and
clarifications of Ehrman's arguments against the Bible. I highly
recommend the book."
*Jason L. Reed, Christian Apologetics Journal,*
"Ehrman raises interesting questions in his book, Misquoting
Jesus.Unfortunately, he provides the wrong answers. Jones offers a
fairer, more accurate presentation of the facts about the New
Testament's reliability. I strongly recommend this book to pastors
and lay people alike."
*Pastor George P. Wood, enrichment, Fall 2008*
"What we have here is a very short and readable treatment that
basically echoes a lot of what Ehrman said and offers alternatives
to a few of the conclusions that Ehrman reached."
*Nick Norelli, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, June 21,
2008*
"[A]n excellent book."
*Does God Exist? March/April 2008*
"Misquoting Truth is an even-handed and careful rebuttal. . . .
Jones makes a detailed analysis and does not give simple
answers."
*Christopher J. Barden for Perspectives on Science and Christian
Faith, March 2008*
"Jones is a good writer and presents the views he opposes with
clarity and respect."
*R. O. for Libraries Alive, Winter 2008*
"In this absorbing and easy-to-follow work, Jones carefully and
courteously exposes the faulty logic behind one man's attempt to
discredit the New Testament. This book is a must-read for anyone
who questions biblical authority."
*Jennifer McCaman in Christian Single, November 2007*
"Handily addresses Ehrman's major complaints and criticisms in an
approach that is unusually irenic and a style that is surprisingly
breezy."
*JoelMiller.com, August 5, 2007*
"Jones provides a wealth of information that will be helpful to
anyone confused about the reliability of our evidence for Jesus'
life."
*HumanEvents.com, September 4, 2007*
"Jones has written a very layman friendly explanation of the
reliability and trustworthiness of the Bible as we have it today.
Jones deals well with explaining textual criticism, claims of
inaccuracies and responses. He writes with a very grace-filled
demeanor as he acknowledges the validity of criticisms and
demonstrates the weaknesses of the criticism with sound reasons and
evidence in defense of the reliability of Scripture."
