Are the traditional answers to these questions still to be trusted? Did
the early church and tradition "Christianize" Jesus? Was Christianity
built on clever conceptions of the church, or on the character and
actions of an actual person? These
and similar questions have come under scrutiny by a forum of biblical
scholars called the Jesus Seminar. Their conclusions have been widely
publicized in magazines such as Time and Newsweek.
Jesus Under
Fire challenges the methodology and findings of the Jesus Seminar,
which generally clash with the biblical records. It examines the
authenticity of the words, actions, miracles, and resurrection of
Jesus, and presents compelling evidence for the traditional biblical
teachings. Combining accessibility with scholarly depth,
Jesus
Under Fire helps readers judge for themselves whether the Jesus of the
Bible is the Jesus of history, and whether the Gospel's claim is valid
that he is the only way to God. ~
