What if the New Testament itself provides three independent witnesses that establish who Jesus Christ is?

What if we learned to hear each witness separately before bringing them together?

The Three Witnesses of Christ by Taylor Halverson, Ph.D. presents a fresh framework for reading the Gospels and the New Testament by organizing the evidence about Jesus into three distinct voices:

What Jesus said.
What Jesus did.
What those who saw Him testified.

Drawing on the biblical principle that truth is established through the testimony of two or three witnesses, this book demonstrates how the New Testament itself follows that pattern. Jesus is revealed through His words, His actions, and the testimony of disciples, crowds, opponents, apostles, and later witnesses who encountered Him.

When these witnesses are studied separately and then reunited, a clearer and more comprehensive picture of Jesus emerges.

Why This Book Is Different
Many books about Jesus focus on a single dimension of His ministry.
Some focus on His teachings.
Others focus on His miracles.
Others focus on doctrine or historical context.
This book brings all three primary witnesses together within a single interpretive framework rooted in biblical law, New Testament structure, and careful textual analysis.
The result is a richer way of reading the Gospels and a deeper understanding of who Jesus claimed to be, what He came to accomplish, and how those who knew Him understood His identity.
Whether you are a Bible student, teacher, seminary instructor, gospel scholar, or lifelong disciple, The Three Witnesses of Christ provides a powerful method for studying the life and mission of Jesus Christ directly from the New Testament record.
Jesus speaks.
Jesus acts.
Others testify.
Three witnesses.
One Savior.
