David Limbaugh’s book sounds like a replay of ground that Simon Greenleaf broke a hundred fifty years ago and which John Warwick Montgomery has continued:
“Greenleaf is an important figure in the development of that Christian school of thought known as legal or juridical apologetics. This school of thought is typified by legally trained scholars applying the canons of proof and argument to the defense of Christian belief.
“Greenleaf’s ‘Testimony of the Evangelists’ set the model for many subsequent works by legal apologists. He is distinguished as one who applied the canons of the ancient document rule to establish the authenticity of the gospel accounts, as well as cross-examination principles in assessing the testimony of those who bore witness to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.
“His style of reasoning is reflected in the apologetic works by John Warwick Montgomery, Josh McDowell, and Ross Clifford.”
Nothing new perhaps, but interesting to hear a well known public figure discussing apologetics.
