Reviews for Who Chose the Gospels?: Probing the Great Gospel Conspiracy
A short review cannot do justice to the depth and quality of this work. For anyone who has to deal with the issue of why we have the four canonical Gospels in some detail, this is essential material. ... This book is very good value for a hardback and is therefore to be highly recommended.
