Book Preview:

#1 The amount of attention the general culture gives to the historical Jesus has been increasing in recent decades. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the story of Jesus is its own genre, featuring carefully researched biographies, scholarly textual commentaries, and historical criticism.

#2 The Gospels are the historical documents that tell Jesus’s story. They were written down by the eyewitnesses who were still alive and active in the community after Jesus’s death and resurrection.

#3 The Gospels are too counterproductive in their content to be legends. They are the foundational documents of the Christian church, and yet they contain a record of one of the church’s greatest leaders, Peter, being an enormous failure who even cursed Jesus in public.

#4 The Gospel of Mark is the best narrative account of the life of Jesus, as it is written in the present tense and focuses on the actions of Jesus. It communicates that Jesus is not just a historical figure, but a living reality who addresses us today.
