Busted: Exposing Popular Myths About Christianity

* "You can't trust the Bible." "Science has proven that miracles don't happen." Ever heard these statements? Without being judgmental, Von Kamecke reclaims the truth about Christianity with serious, yet lighthearted myth busting! For each commonly held misconception, he explains why it is false---weaving humor and serious discussion into his Scripture-focused response. 208 pages, softcover from Zondervan.

People say a lot of things about the Bible, God, Jesus, and Christianity that are simply not true. So in the style of the popular cable show Mythbusters, a New Testament scholar uses biblical and historical evidence—and humor—to do a little myth busting of his own.

And then there was light in the murky tunnel of blind myth-conception… Aha! BUSTED! You know right off by the title and cover that this book pierces the dark confines of the popular myths of Christianity with laser-sharp light. There’s no room for shady shadows to lurk as Fred von Kamecke unveils layer upon layer of myth-conceptions to reveal the unmistakable, gospel truth. Written in a light-hearted colloquial style, Busted! presents compelling arguments with smooth and captivating delivery. Though served with humour and simplicity, there’s plenty of meat to sink your teeth into. His points are solidly supported by diligent fact-finding, scriptural evidence, and the “going deeper” resource section. You will also find depth and breadth in the subjects chosen to be de-mythisized. From the reliability of the Bible to the identity of Jesus to the difference between Islam, Judaism and Christianity, von Kamecke reliably separates fact from fiction with precision and clarity. More than exposing popular myths about Christianity, it answers the “so what?” question. If God is faithful, if He in fact loves people more than anything, if His Word is true and He keeps His promises, then we have a treasure to share and a message worth defending. And that’s the point of knowing the truth – bringing it to life. And that’s no myth!
