NEW! THE GOSPELS: "LOST" & FOUND: Why Are There Only Four Gospels?
by Dr. Timothy Paul Jones

Who really wrote the Gospels? Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? Or were they written by people who were utterly unconnected with the eyewitnesses as some books and TV shows claim? Were they written centuries after Jesus'death and resurrection, long after Jesus'followers had died? Were there gospels that were included in the New Testament—and later removed? Why were these books chosen and not others? This color pamphlet gives reasons to trust the New Testament writings, and provides answers to Bart Ehrman's bestseller Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why. Author Timothy Paul Jones, Ph.D., shows where the critics are incorrect and provides us with a logical, well-reasoned arguments for believing that Jesus lived, died, and rose again—according to the Scriptures.
