In a world where atheism is a growing movement, especially in the
university setting, it’s typical for students today to face doubts about
the Christian faith. In fact, many have wondered at one time or another
if the Bible stories about Jesus could possibly be true. Is there any
way to back up what we’ve heard with real evidence? Can false
information be discredited with historical proof?
Journey into the historical records, from ancient writings to archaeology to cultural and behavioral sciences, and discover whether Jesus really was who the Bible says. This fascinating exploration, created especially for high school and college-aged students, features sections on His words and deeds and whether He ever existed at all. Examine the evidence for yourself.
Now students can join Greg Monette as he explores the fascinating basis for belief in the biblical Jesus. Readers can trek through the ancient historical sources, biblical archaeology, and recent discoveries to uncover the facts about what Jesus really said and did—His birth, His miracles, His claims, and His resurrection.
Written for believers, skeptics, and the non-expert, this book will help readers discover where history and faith collide— and it just might change everything.
Endorsements:
"The Wrong Jesus puts right the most important things about Jesus of Nazareth." - Craig A. Evans, Payzant Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Acadia Divinity College
"This book presents the concrete data, the hard historical evidence for the truth that the Jesus of the New Testament and of the Christian religion is the real Jesus." - Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College & The King's College
"It's quite refreshing to see a book in the 'apologetic s category that's honest about the challenges we have in reconstructing the life of the historical Jesus and the original texts of the Bible. It's similarly refreshing to read a book that draws on the research of both 'liberal' and 'conservative' scholars. And maybe what's most refreshing of all is that this book is written for teenagers, who, I daresay, can definitely handle honesty when it comes to these issues. So kudos to Greg Monette for writing this book, and here's hoping that it gets into the hands of many students." Tony Jones - theologian-in -residence at Solomon's Porch and the author of many books, including Postmodern Youth Ministry
