Abstract
New York Times best-selling author Darrell Bock teams with Daniel Wallace to help lay readers separate fact from fiction and help from hype in the recent best-selling Jesus books and television specials. There is a quest going on. It's the quest to reduce Jesus to a mythic legend or to nothing more than a mere man. Scholars such as Elaine Pagels and James Tabor are using such recent discoveries as the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Thomas to argue that the Christ of Christianity is a contrived figure and that a different Christ-one human and not divine-is the "true" Christ. In his trademark easy-to-understand style Darrell Bock takes on these attempts to redefine Jesus in a convincing, winsome way that will help readers understand that the orthodox understanding of Christ and his divinity is as trustworthy and sure as it ever was. Joining Bock for the first time is fellow scholar Daniel Wallace.
Description
There is a none-too-subtle attempt to redefine the biblical Jesus into a form more tolerable to modern scholars. "Other gospels" such as the Book of Judas claim to shed light on the "real" Jesus, but Dethroning Jesus examines modern heresy in light of biblical truth to show that Jesus Christ was indeed who He said He was: the only begotten Son of God and Savior of the world.
