As the Gospels were written more recently than any other ancient history, hundreds of volumes have been written to defend them. So how can we be certain that everything Jesus said and did was faithfully recorded? How can we be certain that they didn't make up their contents? that the miracles recorded in the Gospels were indeed performed by Jesus? The most crucial question is: How can we be certain that our understanding of his words and actions is accurate?These important problems have largely gone unanswered by Christian apologists because they have instead concentrated on defending the Gospels independently of the community that composed them.The Gospel Truth closes this gap by showing that deliberate and sophisticated efforts were made to guarantee that the teachings and deeds of Jesus were faithfully remembered, recorded, confirmed, and transmitted to subsequent believers. It also demonstrates how to determine whether the books in our Bible actually belong there, how to determine whether our copies of the Scripture accurately mirror the original, and how to evaluate how to properly understand them.
Gary Michuta is the author of Revolt against Reality: Fighting the Enemies of Sanity and Truth from the Serpent to the State, Hostile Witnesses: How the Enemies of the Church Prove Christianity, The Case for the Deuterocanon: Arguments and Evidence, Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger, and several other apologetic works. Gary is an instructor of apologetics for Home School Connections and is the host of “Hands On Apologetics” on Virgin Most Powerful Radio.
“Gary Michuta will shame those who dismiss the Gospels as pious opinions unconcerned with historical reliability or eyewitness testimony. With great precision, he demonstrates how Jesus utilized time-tested rabbinic techniques to ensure that his disciples would have accurate recall of his teaching formatted for reliable transmission.”

“Michuta . . . shows that Christianity’s sacred texts are not mere fables or fabrications but reliable and accurate accounts of what Jesus said and did. I learned a lot from this book—I expect you will too.”
Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J.
Host of “The Catholic Current” and Author of Christendom Lost and Found and Real Philosophy for Real People
“For far too long the Bible has been under attack from atheist skeptics and Protestant critics alike—and the Catholic Church has unfortunately imbibed much of it under the guise of scholarship. While there are few popular-level resources to help the faithful combat these attacks, Gary Michuta has given us a great one in The Gospel Truth.”
Douglas M. Beaumont
Author of With One Accord: Affirming Catholic Teaching Using Protestant Principles
“Gary Michuta has put together an extraordinary work that is sure to enrich every Christ-lover with its journey through the clarity of the faith and the shedding of common misconceptions. It should also be noted that the footnotes are a treasure trove waiting to be scoured. A must-own book!”
