This is a great evangelistic book to give to a skeptic. It is small, compact and yet thorough read of extra biblical apologetics. I usually use this to give along with a New Testament.
More Than a Carpenter uses the theory first dreamed up by CS Lewis, namely, that Christ was either the Lord, a Liar or a Lunatic. He was either telling the entire truth and He is truly God, or Christ was just a bold face liar on what and who He claimed He was or even that He was just a looney that believed Himself to be God, just as someone would say that they were a tree.
The book then goes into manuscript evidence, archaelogical finds and the such. The only problem I have with the book, is the author. McDowell has done many fine works in apologetics but it seems as though he can rely on extra biblical proofs instead of just preaching the Gospel. I like to use this book but like I said only if it is used alongside the preaching and teaching of the word of God. I praise McDowell for his work but wish that he would reconsider his theology.
