	Teens attracted to the truths of Christ through relationships, says Josh McDowell - (BP) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		McDowell assessed the challenges of student evangelism in the new millennium by describing a cultural chasm separating the church from today's teens as a worldview founded on the concept that "truth is not there to be discovered, truth is there to be created."
		McDowell said, however, this belief system is faulty because it's based on one's personal opinion not the concept that there is an objective standard of truth outside of one's self.
		Consequently, McDowell said, the answer for reaching the teen culture with the truth of the gospel remains the same now as in the days of the New Testament when the concept of tolerance was propagated throughout Rome in an effort to keep peace.

	Reply to message 448 By: Fredric Rice To: Doug Lee Re: Josh McDowell St: Local @MSGID: 1:1
		Josh McDowell is believed by Creationists to be the best 'scientist' ever to come along to defend their occult beliefs.
		McDowell sells himself across the country talking to his wind-up slaves yet never once making the mistake of actually debating his occultism with scientists on scientific grounds and merits.
		McDowell's ocultism was published in several conspiracy books purporting to be science and they have all been soundly debunked by many scientists.

	The Jury Is In: The Ruling on Josh McDowell's "Evidence"
		He first distinguishes between Pauline faith and McDowell's insistence that the Bible reveals historically true propositions, which the author calls the "reliability doctrine." McDowell's reliability doctrine is then examined from three perspectives: biblical criticism, archaeology, and philosophy.

		Lastly, McDowell seems to have only examined superficially his own youthful conversion experience (any reasonable analysis of which would seem to confirm how young and emotionally unstable he was when he converted).

	Some Mistakes of Josh McDowell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		McDowell is able to get away with making statements like this because his readership for the most part is unfamiliar with the history and literature of other religions and the science of comparative religion.
		McDowell, having spent most of this chapter explaining why all of modern scholarship is wrong in its dating of the New Testament, he gives us his three criteria for testing the reliability of a historical document.
		McDowell asserts that the accounts of Christ's resurrection, taken together, represent a case that would, through the evidence of the collaboration of the four "witnesses," convince a court of law of the truth of the events described.

	The Jesus of History: A Reply to Josh McDowell
		McDowell does say that the quotation is "hotly contested," but he never tells us what he means by that, and he then goes on to treat the quotation as authentic.
		McDowell spells it incorrectly as "Seutonius." Then he makes the unforgivable and dishonest statement that "Chrestus" is "another spelling of Christus." This is not correct.
		Of course, McDowell is blissfully unaware of all of this.

	Evidence That Demands A Verdict: A Critique of Josh McDowell's Book.
		According to Josh, you must read his book with a "proper attitude" because it was designed to turn people back to a relationship with Christ.
		Josh's answer to logic is "The important point is that the church believed in the virgin birth".
		Josh McDowell may be a nice man who sincerely believes in his work, or he may be a huckster who is trying to convince people to become part of his ministry.

	Bob,
		McDowell's uses of manuscript count and transmission interval to establish historical reliability of the NT are genuinely misleading and not generally indicative of what historians do.
		McDowell has again taken a quote out of context, no doubt intending the reader to infer that "these things" that have not escaped notice and have "not been done in a corner" are in fact events from the life of Jesus.
		McDowell's position is that the Luke geneology is really the lineage of Mary, so that the initial reference to Joseph being "the son of Heli" must really mean Joseph was the son-in-law of Heli.

	By Gosh Josh! An Answer to Eric Snow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Josh McDowell's reasoning about the so-called virgin birth reminds me of a letter I read many years ago in a newspaper advice column (probably "Dear Abby" or "Ann Landers" as I used to read both).
		One of Josh McDowell's trademarks is that he sets his own stage by proposing absurd arguments against the historicity of Jesus that are almost never seen or heard.
		McDowell goes on to declare that "Everyone knew that Christ's grave was empty—the real issue was how did it get that way?" (29) In his statement Josh emphasizes the words "knew" and "how" as though he had just proposed the greatest fact of history, followed by the greatest question in history.

	Josh McDowell And Bible Prophesy [unsigned] (Reply) (3-00)
		His obvious mistakes are such blatant examples of dishonesty as to render suspect anything else he says that cannot be easily and thoroughly verified (such as claiming that the sun exists).
		McDowell likes to fill his books up with obscure, unverifiable, and basically useless claims, which he grabs from whatever source will help him appear to make his case -- no matter how flimsy the source material may be.
		The classic example is his use of the Josephus passage in the "Evidence" books; no Christian apologist who is both honest and informed would point to the Josephus passage in making a case for Christianity.
