About This Book
As a practitioner of Christian apologetics, McDowell's writings have
concentrated on addressing challenges to belief, questions posed by
non-Christians, doubts about faith, and non-Christian religions. He has
not written about apologetic theory and method. However, his apologetic
methodology can be deduced from his writings and it is clear that
McDowell stands within the evidentialist tradition of Christian
apologetics. In that tradition apologists tend to present positive
arguments to commend belief in Christ by emphasising historical and
legal proofs to establish the authenticity of the biblical texts and the
divinity of Christ.
In books such as Evidence That Demands A Verdict, The Resurrection
Factor, and He Walked Among Us, McDowell has arranged his arguments by
pleading for a cumulative case of evidences, such as archaeological
discoveries, the extant manuscripts of the biblical texts, fulfilled
prophecies, and the miracle of the resurrection. In More Than A
Carpenter he blended historical argument with legal arguments concerning
the direct witness and circumstantial evidences for Jesus' life and
resurrection. He employed a similar line of argument in his debate
titled 'Was Christ crucified?' with the South African Muslim apologist
Ahmed Deedat in Durban during August, 1981.
Much of his evidentialist work reflects the views of apologists such as
John Warwick Montgomery, Norman Geisler, Gleason Archer, and Gary
Habermas.
Other foci of his apologetics have included challenging the methodology,
assumptions and conclusions drawn in higher criticism of the Old
Testament and form and redaction criticism of the gospels. His work in
this area has consisted of a popular summarisation of scholarly debate,
particularly from Evangelical discussions about higher critical
theories. In the late 1980s and into the 1990s his apologetic writings
interacted with challenges expressed in popular books like The Holy
Blood and the Holy Grail, The Lost Years of Jesus, and the writings of
the humanist George A. Wells.
He has also collated apologetic arguments concerning the doctrine of
Christ's deity as in Jesus: A Biblical Defense of His Deity. In two
companion volumes he and his colleague Don Stewart have addressed
popular questions and objections to faith concerning biblical inerrancy
and Bible discrepancies, Noah's Flood, and creation versus evolution.
McDowell and Stewart have also popularised the arguments of other
apologists in the Christian countercult movement, particularly the work
of Walter Martin, in the Handbook of Today's Religions. In their
criticisms of cults and occult beliefs McDowell and Stewart concentrate
on doctrinal apologetic questions, especially pertaining to the deity of
Christ, and pointing out heretical beliefs in the non-orthodox religious
groups they profile.
