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

For well over a hundred years now, many scholars have questioned the historical truth of the Gospels, claiming that they were originally anonymous. Others have even argued that Jesus of Nazareth did not think he was God and never claimed to be divine. In The Case for Jesus, Dr. Brant Pitre, the bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, goes back to the sources--the biblical and historical evidence for Christ--in order to answer several key questions, including: - Were the four Gospels really anonymous? - Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies? - Were the four Gospels written too late to be reliable? - What about the so-called "Lost Gospels," such as "Q" and the Gospel of Thomas? - Did Jesus claim to be God? - Is Jesus divine in all four Gospels? Or only in John? - Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah? - Why was Jesus crucified? - What is the evidence for the Resurrection?
