The Case for Jesus

The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ

De: Brant Pitre, Robert Barron - afterword

Narrado por: Mark Deakins

Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number of different questions, including: If we don't know who wrote the Gospels, how can we trust 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 should be put into these writings?

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

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I've lost count how many times I've heard critics say the Gospels are late, anonymous, and untrustworthy sources that don't prove the divinity of Christ. At last there is a book that refutes these claims with scholarly rigor while still being an enjoyable read for lay persons." (Trent Horn, author of Answering Atheism)

Insightful

Full of great insights about Jesus and the Bible, highly recommend. Whether you are a Christian or not I think you will find Pitre's presentation of the subject fair, scholarly, yet approachable. He makes a surprisingly convincing case for the historicity of the gospels and Jesus claims to be Devine. The insights into 1st century Judaism make it valuable even if you have know doubts as to who Jesus was.

worth the read

Another great one from Dr Pitre. presented very logically and persuasively. I loved the portions that interpreted passages in a deeper and fuller way than they typically are (e.g. Jesus' cry of dereliction, use of the title 'son of man', Jesus' encounter with the rich man).

Clearly explains facts about Christ.

Meticulous research and clear explanations about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Loved it!

Great audio book

The points and arguments are clearly stated and thoroughly discussed to arrive to clear, concise and convincing statements that tie the profesies and old testament announcements to Jesus Christ and the true goal and meaning of his life and ministry.

Every honest skeptic should read this book.

If you got a "one sided" presentation on the historicity of Jesus and the NT in college, then this book will give you a powerful counter-presentation of the reasons for Christian faith.
