In this highly accessible discussion, Bart Ehrman examines the most recent textual and archaeological sources for the life of Jesus, along with the history of first-century Palestine, drawing a fascinating portrait of the man and his teachings. Ehrman shows us what historians have long known about the Gospels and the man who stands behind them. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet--a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within the lifetime of his apostles and that a new kingdom would be created on earth. According to Ehrman, Jesus' belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization not only underscores the radicalism of his teachings but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to Jerusalem's established leadership.

The earliest traditions around the narrative of Jesus' resurrection are considered in this landmark work by Dale C. Allison, Jr, drawing together the fruits of his decades of research into this issue at the very core of Christian identity. Allison returns to the ancient sources and earliest traditions, charting them alongside the development of faith in the resurrection in the early church and throughout Christian history. Beginning with historical-critical methodology that examines the empty tomb narratives and early confessions, Allison moves on to consider the resurrection in parallel with other traditions and stories, including Tibetan accounts of saintly figures being assumed into the light, in the chapter “Rainbow Body”. Finally, Allison considers what might be said by way of results or conclusions on the topic of resurrection, offering perspectives from both apologetic and sceptical viewpoints. In his final section of “modest results” he considers scholarly approaches to the resurrection in light of human experience, adding fresh nuance to a debate that has often been characterised in overly simplistic terms of “it happened” or “it didn't”.

Unless I See Is There Enough Evidence to Believe? squarely faces the challenging questions that skeptics and seekers ask about the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Author Patrick Zukeran addresses the issues many raise. Is there evidence to support Christianity's case? Is there evidence for the existence of God? Do science and faith contradict one another? Is the Bible a historically reliable document? Are the accounts of miracles trustworthy? Do we have an accurate account of the life of Jesus? Is there evidence for His resurrection? In its head-on approach to these topics, Unless I See Is There Enough Evidence to Believe? addresses major challenges to the Christian faith. It surveys the variety of worldviews held in today's society, presents evidence for the existence of God, addresses the issues raised by Darwin's theory of evolution, explores the claims of postmodern relativism, makes a reasoned case for absolute truth, responds both to the problem of evil, and defends Christianity against the alternatives embodied in pluralism. The message of Jesus Christ is often confronted by the competing claims and ideas of modern culture. This book will equip you, through its approachable and informative discussion, to present a well reasoned and compelling defense of the faith. It provides you with the tools and information to defend the Christian faith, instills confidence in your faith, and gives you the tools and techniques to share your faith with a world that does not yet see the truth found in Jesus Christ.

Such love, Lindsley shows us, does indeed bear ultimate witness to the living truth of Jesus Christ.
