Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up?
Whether atheist, Muslim, Mormon, evangelical, spiritual-but-not-religious, other, or none, everyone seems to have an opinion about Jesus. For 2,000 years people have been making some radically different claims about Jesus of Nazareth-the most influential person to ever live. Today, it's not getting any easier. Every flimsy theory and alternative fact about Jesus refuses to die thanks to the internet. Was Jesus just a larger-than-life legend? A regular rabbi with family troubles? Was he progressive? Conservative? Mentally unstable? Was he a zealous revolutionary? God in the flesh? Or just a really nice guy like your hippy neighbor? Reintroducing Jesus: Uncovering Jesus of Nazareth in the Misinformation Age looks at the best historical information available to rediscover Jesus of Nazareth in a world full of noise. This book is a relevant and concrete foundation needed during a time when everything is in question.Dr. James Smock, Head of School, Timothy Christian School, Piscataway, NJ Regularly in our culture, people have remade Jesus into the person they want him to be-which most of the time bears little resemblance to the actual historical Jesus. This book offers a corrective. Steven clearly is familiar with the technical academic scholarship on these questions, but he is able to present the material in such a way that is simple-but not simplistic-and equally readable to a high school student or adult.
Dr. James Parker, retired Professor of Worldview and Culture, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ... interesting and thought-provoking for the non-religious, the curious, as well as the studious.
Dr. Corey Miller, President of Ratio Christi
