The Jesus Legend builds a convincing interdisciplinary case for the unique and plausible position of Jesus in human history. He was real and his presence on the planet has been well-documented.\n\nThe authors of the New Testament didnt plant evidence, though each writer did tell the truth from a unique perspective. This book carefully investigates the Gospel portraits of Jesus--particularly the Synoptic Gospels--assessing what is reliable history and fictional legend. The authors contend that a cumulative case for the general reliability of the Synoptic Gospels can be made and boldly challenge those who question the veracity of the Jesus found there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Baker Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984509169717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0801031141","price":47.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780801031144_ee2615d0-7723-4d1a-b612-e6ec83ca2501.jpg?v=1792780135","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-jesus-legend-a-case-for-the-historical-reliability-of-the-synoptic-jesus-tradition-9780801031144","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
