Echoes of Jesus is a very insightful and much-needed book in the area of apologetics. I plan to use it as a text in Australia’s only theologically-accredited Apologetics to Islam course run at the Melbourne School of Theology.

For anyone interested in the truth claims of Christianity, this book by Jonathan Clerke is a helpful and interesting read and an excellent resource. Based on extensive, robust and systematic research of primary and secondary sources, the author persuasively argues that the New Testament accurately and faithfully records what Jesus said and taught in his lifetime.

This book is a “must get” for anyone interested in “digging deeper” on their journey through the New Testament. I will be recommending “Echoes of Jesus” to my students and church friends as it invites its readers to carefully study in order to carefully apply.

This well written work on the biblical account of the historical Jesus exposes the reader to key issues that are often overlooked in popular Christian apologetics. It raises the believer's confidence levels in the reliability of the Gospels and the apostolic writings, and should be taken seriously by scholars.

The biblical worldview is rooted in Scripture, which speaks with authority and logical consistency on matters of epistemology, cosmology and ethics. The earthly words of Christ are an integral component of Scripture, and Jonathan Clerke has provided us a meticulously researched evidentialist account of how the logos of God has been accurately documented and preserved.

Jonathan Clerke has answered the questions that a lot of people are asking, and I believe this book will impact many people's lives with a message of hope & truth. After interviewing Jonathan on Vision radio, I was convinced this book needs to get into as many hands as possible.

Using archaeological records, manuscripts and other early Christian and non-Christian texts, Echoes of Jesus provides a systematic critical examination into the integrity and reliability of the New Testament, and Jesus as the Son of God. Clerke's book is comprehensive and free from jargon, making it accessible and also encouraging readers to delve deeper into the implications of truth. It has been a good resource for my theological studies and personal faith alike.

This book is a valuable addition to the library of anyone interested in Christian apologetics, or indeed anyone who wants to know how Jesus' teaching has been passed down to us. The book has been meticulously researched and is a work of considerable scholarship, yet written in accessible language. It reads like a quest, as Jonathan takes us from the ancient world to today, seeking answers to the questions surrounding the veracity of the Gospels. This book provides the context in which the words of Jesus were recorded and preserved and concludes with the certainty that the Gospels, as we know them today, are trustworthy. A great read, it will also be a useful book of reference.
