Either way, Dr. Shaw invites us all to come and see that the biblical claims of Jesus are worthy of belief.”
“In light of the amount of misinformation in today's world about the reliability of the Bible, we cannot have too many books like Benjamin Shaw's to set the record straight. For an absolutely up-to-date and succinct introduction to a representative selection of key issues about New Testament trustworthiness, Shaw's little book is hard to top.”
“For Christians the New Testament forms their belief system and approach to life. Surveys have shown trust in the Scripture is at an all-time low. When the New Testament cannot be trusted, its message will not be accepted nor its truth applied. As a result, Christianity is facing an unprecedented decline. Dr. Shaw has written the right book to meet this need. His New Testament evidences are apologetic essentials, but his ability to communicate these on an entry level sets his work apart, making it accessible to both students and anyone with questions on why the New Testament can be a trustworthy guide for faith and practice.”
“Benjamin Shaw's Trustworthy presents clearly and concisely the best arguments for the reliability of the New Testament. Although informed by the best of scholarship, Shaw communicates at a level that all readers can follow.”
“Much of what we know about our final destiny depends on the accuracy of the New Testament documents. Are they trustworthy? This small but powerful book by Dr. Ben Shaw will show you, in an easy-to-understand manner, that the most important documents ever written are indeed trustworthy.

“Accessible, clear, and profoundly engaging, Ben Shaw's Trustworthy: Thirteen Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament is a comprehensive guide to the avenues of textual, historical, and literary considerations that can be applied to the integrity of the New Testament. Shaw's breadth of knowledge and clarity of style make this a must-read for anyone with questions about the validity of the Bible as well as believers seeking to examine the foundations of their confidence in Scripture.”
“Sometimes we need basic orientation to a topic. With as much debate about reliability as the New Testament generates, Trustworthy shows as a first step that there is good reason to be confident of the New Testament for many different reasons. This book is of special value to those new to faith or for those who have heard general objections to the New Testament and are looking for initial responses. The book also shows where follow-up can be found.”
