Reinventing Jesus: How Contemporary Skeptics Miss the Real Jesus & Mislead Popular Culture

From Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code to Bart Ehrman’s Misquoting Jesus, popular culture has been bombarded in recent years with skeptical attacks on the New Testament view of Jesus. This book sets the record straight by showing that the New Testament writings have come down to us intact, that the New Testament contains the best books for those wanting to know what Jesus really said and did, and that the belief in Jesus as God was the view of the earliest Christians, not a later dogma borrowed from pagan myth. Paul L. Maier, professor of ancient history at Western Michigan University, calls this book “a refreshing breeze of honesty regarding Christian origins.” 347 pages.
