For good over 100 years now, many students have wondered the old fact of the Gospels, claiming that they have been initially nameless. Others have even argued that Jesus of Nazareth didn't imagine he was once God and not claimed to be divine.

In The Case for Jesus, Dr. Brant Pitre, the bestselling writer of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, is going again to the sources—the biblical and old facts for Christ—in order to reply to a number of key questions, together with:

   • Were the 4 Gospels quite nameless?
   • Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies?
   • Were the 4 Gospels written too past due to be trustworthy?
   • What concerning the so-called “Lost Gospels,” equivalent to “Q” and the Gospel of Thomas?
   • Did Jesus declare to be God? 
   • Is Jesus divine in all 4 Gospels? Or basically in John?
   • Did Jesus satisfy the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah?
   • Why used to be Jesus crucified?
   • What is the proof for the Resurrection?

As The Case for Jesus will exhibit, contemporary discoveries in New testomony scholarship, in addition to ignored proof from historic manuscripts and the early church fathers, jointly have the capability to tug the rug out from lower than a century of skepticism towards the conventional Gospels. peculiarly, Pitre indicates how the divine claims of Jesus of Nazareth can purely be understood by way of placing them of their historic Jewish context.
