A historical case for Jesus of Nazareth

Bart D. Ehrman addresses the question of whether Jesus existed by examining evidence from the Bible and other records of the ancient world. The book outlines how historical investigation can be conducted, identifies sources Ehrman considers useful for understanding Jesus’ mission and message, and responds to arguments that Jesus was entirely mythical. Its subject is both the historical figure and the early Christian movement, with attention to how historical evidence relates to later mythologies associated with Jesus. The focus is on the methods and sources behind a historical argument, rather than a devotional account of Christian belief.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical approaches to Jesus and early Christianity
  • Those seeking an examination of arguments about whether Jesus existed
  • Readers exploring the use of biblical and other ancient sources in historical inquiry

Book overview

In Did Jesus Exist? historian and Bible expert Bart Ehrman confronts the question, "Did Jesus exist at all?" Ehrman vigorously defends the historical Jesus, identifies the most historically reliable sources for best understanding Jesus' mission and message, and offers a compelling portrait of the person at the heart of the Christian tradition.

Known as a master explainer with deep knowledge of the field, Bart Ehrman methodically demolishes both the scholarly and popular "mythicist" arguments against the existence of Jesus. Marshaling evidence from within the Bible and the wider historical record of the ancient world, Ehrman tackles the key issues that surround the mythologies associated with Jesus and the early Christian movement.

In Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth, Ehrman establishes the criterion for any genuine historical investigation and provides a robust defense of the methods required to discover the Jesus of history.
