Simon Greenleaf was a New England lawyer and professor of law at Harvard University and a Christian. This classic text examines the testimony of the four Gospels as if they were presented in a court of law. Greenleaf takes aim at skeptics of his day but his analysis and insight is often relevant in our own time. At issue then, as now, concerns the standards of evidence that Christianity should be judged by? How does Christianity itself present itself to be judged? Should we hold Christianity's truth claims to a higher standard than we use to sentence people to death? Objections to the Christian faith along these lines were not invented by modern atheists. They were around in the 1800s for Greenleaf to tackle- and refute.
