This book is a must-have for anyone looking for irrefutable evidence of the truth of the Scriptures. The method employed by Blunt to prove the veracity of the Scriptures is rarely found in modern apologetic books.

Blunt takes inconspicuous Biblical facts from one section of the Scripture, and by comparing these with other Bible passages (and even the works of Josephus) shows how their presence can only be explained if what the Biblical authors wrote was true.

Over one hundred such examples are detailed from both the Old and New Testaments.

Blunt's argument is built from an ever-growing number of independently observed statements throughout the Bible which coincidentally prove, confirm, or fill in historical gaps of other passages. Therefore, it can feature a huge number of steps, each one an additional piece of evidence. Because of this, it is most easily stated as a challenge. Once you have considered the massive weight of the evidence from untold numbers of undesigned coincidences, can you really maintain your skepticism of the historicity of the Bible?

About John James Blunt
Born in 1794 and dying on June 18, 1855, Blunt was an English divine and Anglican priest. His writings included studies of the early Church.

Blunt was born at Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he took his degree as fifteenth wrangler in 1816 and obtained a fellowship. He was appointed a Worts travelling bachelor 1818, and spent some time in Italy and Sicily, afterwards publishing an account of his journey. He proceeded MA in 1819, BD 1826, and was Hulsean Lecturer in 1831-1832 while holding a curacy in Shropshire.

In 1834, he became rector of Great Oakley in Essex, and in 1839 was appointed Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. In 1854 he declined the see of Salisbury.

His chief book was Undesigned Coincidences in the Writings both of the Old and New Testaments (1833; fuller edition, 1847). Some of his writings, among them the History of the Christian Church during the First Three Centuries and the lectures On the Right Use of the Early Fathers, were published posthumously.
