Thanks for pausing at this page so I can let you know how indebted I am to the many people who helped me create this book. I am thankful that the scholars I interviewed — Craig A. Evans, Daniel B. Wallace, Michael Licona, Edwin Yamauchi, Michael L. Brown, and Paul Copan — were willing to share their time and expertise with me. Also, Mark Mittelberg, my ministry partner for twenty years, was invaluable as always, contributing advice, feedback, and encouragement along the way. Garry Poole and my daughter, Alison Morrow, helped hone the final manuscript. My precocious granddaughter, Abigail Morrow, provided much-needed diversions from time to time. Everyone at Zondervan — especially Doug Lockhart, Scott Bolinder, John Sloan, Bob Hudson, Leslie Speyers, Mark Rice, Scott Heagle, and the editorial, design, marketing, publicity, and sales teams — offered incredible support. I’m blessed to be associated with such a great publisher. Finally, my wife, Leslie; our son, Kyle, and his wife, Kelli; and our daughter, Alison, and her husband, Dan Morrow, were constant sources of love and encouraging words. God’s best to all of you!
