Synopsis
Russell Shorto meticulously investigates Christian history and the Bible&’s New Testament to reveal the true, historical Jesus Christ. For roughly two thousand years, the world has known only the biblical depiction of Jesus: the virgin birth, miraculous life, and resurrection. Recently, scholars have pursued the historical Jesus Christ by poring through texts, examining ancient documents, and even holding votes. They make a fresh attempt to answer some of history&’s greatest questions: Who was he? Where did he live? What did he think? And was the Bible&’s account true? In Gospel Truth, bestselling author Russell Shorto (The Island at the Center of the World) brings a journalist&’s eye to the life of Jesus Christ. Shorto looks into the Jesus Seminar, where historians seek and analyze evidence of the world&’s most famous carpenter&’s son. He compiles their research and ideas to create a composite biographical portrait of Yeshu, a man of ordinary beginnings who changed the world in extraordinary ways. A skillfully compiled biblical interpretation, Shorto shows &“a Jesus stripped of the unhistorical&” (Library Journal). The result will fascinate believers and nonbelievers alike.
