Is the New Testament History?  by Dr Paul Barnett

As you are probably aware I am not much of a bookworm and if I get through one book a year then I'm doing well! Well this book is a must read, easy to read, chapters aren't too long and I learnt some historical facts and information that I never knew, like did you know there was literature before the Gospels that some of the Gospel authors used to write their books. Also the historical information from Jewish and Roman historians that backs-up the events told in the Bible.

At the Men's Conference Peter Jensen was recommending giving this book to non-Christians but I would think it would depend upon where they are up to in their investigation of faith. Have a read and decide for yourself. I will be passing my book onto friends and family members but I'm sure someone else may have bought a copy at Men's Convention.
