Publisher's Description

▼▲

An enlightening follow-up to the bestselling book The Case for Christ, In Defense of Jesus follows award-winning journalist Lee Strobel as he explores the most explosive arguments against the identity of Christ as the Messiah.

Has modern scholarship debunked the traditional Christ? Has the church suppressed the truth about Jesus to advance its own agenda? What if the real Jesus is far different from the atoning Savior worshiped through the centuries?

In Defense of Jesus explores such hot-button questions as:

Did the church suppress ancient non-biblical documents that paint a more accurate picture of Jesus than the four Gospels?
Did the church distort the truth about Jesus by tampering with early New Testament texts?
Do new insights and explanations disprove the resurrection?
Have fresh arguments disqualified Jesus from being the Messiah?
Did Christianity steal its core ideas from earlier mythology?

Evaluate the arguments and evidence being advanced by prominent atheists, liberal theologians, Muslim scholars, and others. Sift through expert testimony. Then reach your own verdict with In Defense of Jesus.

This title is also available in Spanish, En defense de Jesús.
