The Case for Jesus: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ

Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were at the start anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to invite and answer plenty of different questions, including: If we do not know who wrote the Gospels, how are we able to believe them? How are the four Gospels different from other Gospels, such as the lost Gospel of “Q” and the Gospel of Thomas? How can the four Gospels be historically true when there are differences between them? How much faith will have to be put into these writings?

As The Case for Jesus will show, up to date discoveries in New Testament scholarship in addition to neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early church fathers together have the potential to tug the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the apostolic authorship and historical truth of the traditional Gospels.
