He was real and his presence on the planet has been well-documented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors of the New Testament didn't 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.","brand":"Paul Rhodes Eddy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40699674722353,"sku":"9780801031144","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9780801031144.jpg?v=1772106681","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9780801031144_the-jesus-legend","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
