They Were Eyewitnesses

“In They Were Eyewitnesses, Dr. Almodovar comes right to the point and without ambiguity directs Christians and unbelievers alike to the objective and eternal truth of God’s written Word as the foundation of apologetics: indeed, the foundation of our faith, with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone. ‘The power of God is in the gospel’ is Dr. Almodovar’s clear message, and ‘Scripture guided them [the apostles and prophets] in interpreting their personal experience.’ Scripture alone, faith alone, and grace alone save each of us, not experiences—that is the testimony to be shared.”


—Tim Corder, believer





“Dr. Almodovar correctly points out that what is most certain and sure are objective, extra nos facts reported by eyewitnesses. The Christian faith is all about that, unlike other world religions that push an intra nos idolatry. Let’s not forget that when the apostle Paul, like the other eyewitnesses of Christ’s resurrection, spoke to the Greek philosophers at Athens, he didn’t spend much time and energy debating religious systems and philosophies. He simply but audaciously proclaimed Jesus crucified and raised from the dead. The objective extra nos resurrection is the key! . . . It is the pivotal point around which all human history turns. . . . Faith clings to the preaching of this historical fact that was done for you and for your salvation. Happy reading! Happy believing! Happy sharing this Good News!”


—Brent W. Kuhlman, Trinity Lutheran Church, Murdock, Nebraska





“Looking for a solid base as you defend your Christian faith? Dr. Almodovar points to the witnessing patterns used by the apostles in Scripture as good examples to follow. They Were Eyewitnesses will clearly show why objective truths outweigh subjective opinions and feelings when sharing the gospel to those God places in our lives.”
