I knew that this would be a book that would give evidence for the accuracy of the Bible account of Jesus, but I didn't expect to learn as much as I did. I was really shocked by the Jewish man who thought the New Testament was an American Nazi Party manual and when he finally read it he was thinking " but this is a Jewish story; where are the Gentiles?" and they don't come into the story till Acts. I also had never known that the author of Mark had been Peter's assistant and that is how he knew so much about the life of Jesus. While I knew that Luke had been with Paul, and that Matthew and John were disciples, I didn't really give the author of Mark any thought. So I learned a lot from this little book.
