AlbakiReads Editorial

Examining challenges to Jesus’ identity

Lee Strobel organizes the book around disputes over how Jesus is understood: the reliability of the Gospels and early New Testament texts, the church’s treatment of non-biblical writings, interpretations of the resurrection, and claims about parallels with earlier mythology. The questions are framed as an investigation of arguments advanced by atheists, theologians, Muslim scholars, and others. Readers are invited to weigh the cited arguments and expert testimony against the traditional Christian understanding of Jesus as Messiah and atoning Savior. The book is presented as a follow-up to *The Case for Christ*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian apologetics and debates about the identity of Jesus.
  • Those exploring challenges to Gospel accounts, the resurrection, or Christian origins.
  • Readers seeking a book that sets out competing claims for personal consideration.

Book overview

An enlightening follow-up to the bestselling book The Case for Christ, In Defense of Jesus follows award-winning journalist Lee Strobel as he explores the most explosive arguments against the identity of Christ as the Messiah.

Has modern scholarship debunked the traditional Christ? Has the church suppressed the truth about Jesus to advance its own agenda? What if the real Jesus is far different from the atoning Savior worshiped through the centuries?

In Defense of Jesus explores such hot-button questions as:

  • Did the church suppress ancient non-biblical documents that paint a more accurate picture of Jesus than the four Gospels?
  • Did the church distort the truth about Jesus by tampering with early New Testament texts?
  • Do new insights and explanations disprove the resurrection?
  • Have fresh arguments disqualified Jesus from being the Messiah?
  • Did Christianity steal its core ideas from earlier mythology?

Evaluate the arguments and evidence being advanced by prominent atheists, liberal theologians, Muslim scholars, and others. Sift through expert testimony. Then reach your own verdict with InDefense of Jesus.

This title is also available in Spanish, En defense de Jes
