The public are inundated with untruths about Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest figure in human history and the one by whom we date everything. Sometimes these truths emerge from the media and sometimes from specific assaults on Jesus by special interest groups and writers.

Michael Green thoughtfully and robustly takes on the most important of these untruths.
Was Jesus just a mythical figure who never lived?
Were the Gospel accounts of him corrupt and written long after he lived?
Can we trust the text of the New Testament?
Was Mary Magdalene Jesus's lover?
Were the Gnostic Gospels just as good evidence as the four Gospels which Christians read today?
Did Jesus really die on the cross?


And surely nobody these days believes in the resurrection? After all, hasn't the tomb of Jesus and his family been discovered?

These are some of the issues addressed in this book. The author is an ancient historian as well as a New Testament scholar. He is not ashamed to call the misrepresentations about Jesus what they are - lies, lies, lies!

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    It's always a joy to read a book by Michael Green as he is such a good writer having that wonderful balance between scholarship and page turning pace. In this title he visits the centuries old arguments about the life of Jesus, brought, once again, to the fore by the writings of 21st century atheists. To prove his case, Michael Green uses ancient sources, such as the Gnostic Gospels, together with modern arguments from the likes of Dawkins and Hitchens. It is refreshing that he does not just demolish the thoughts of such writers, but unpicks their arguments to strengthen his case. Look no further for a good dose of accessible apologetics!
