Recent claims about the Life of Jesus have raised many questions about the historicity of the man from Nazareth. In this straightforward and accessible book, John Dickson addresses these issues head-on, dealing with questions such as: When and where was Jesus born? Did he marry? What should we make of the 'miracles' he is reported to have performed? How should we treat the claim that he rose from the dead? And can we be sure he even existed in the first place?
In eleven chapters - covering the historical value of the New Testament, Jesus' birth and family, his historical context, his teachings, miracles, death, resurrection and subsequent appearances - Dickson clears away the mists of speculation and fantasy, revealing the founder of Christianity in sharp focus. This is a must-read for anyone wanting a lucid response to the controversial conspiracy theories of the post-modern age.
