Publisher's Description
For more than a century, Bible scholars and university researchers have been systematically debunking what ordinary Christians believed about Jesus of Nazareth. But what if the most recent Biblical scholarship actually affirmed the New Testament? What if Jesus was not a Zealot revolutionary, or a Greek Cynic philosopher, or a proto-feminist Gnostic, but precisely what he claimed to be: the divine Son of Man prophesied in the Book of Daniel who gave his life as a ransom for many? What if everything the Gospels say about Jesus of Nazareth—his words, his deeds, his plans—turned out to be true? Searching for Jesus changes “what if?” to “what is,” debunking the debunkers and showing how the latest scholarship supports orthodox Christian belief.

“This entertaining book, setting its scenes with plenty of local color, demonstrates just how far the modern skepticism about Jesus has overreached itself. Questions remain, but Robert Hutchinson reminds us that we do not need to be browbeaten by those who say that only negative answers are available.”
“Robert Hutchinson’s new book—Searching for Jesus: New Discoveries in the Quest for Jesus of Nazareth—is a significant and very welcomed contribution to the discussion about the ‘Historical Jesus.’ In his book, Hutchinson reviews recent archaeological finds and new directions in New Testament scholarship that challenge some of the older theories. He does it with great clarity and in a lively and intriguing way.”
“Searching for Jesus is an excellent, informed, up-to-date review of biblical research presented in clear, engaging prose for the average reader. Again and again, Robert Hutchinson shows how recent historical and archaeological investigations have overturned many of the bias-laden and unverified conclusions of biblical scholarship in the past century. Searching for Jesus will teach you, challenge you, and encourage you. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking the truth—about Jesus of Nazareth and about the historical accuracy of the Gospels.”
