Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number of different questions, including: If we don't know who wrote the Gospels, how can we trust them? How are the four Gospels different from other Gospels, such as the lost Gospel of "Q" and the Gospel of Thomas?

Mary Magdalene is one of the most influential symbols in the history of Christianity - yet, if you look in the Bible, you'll find only a handful of verses that speak of her. How did she become such a compelling saint in the face of such paltry evidence? In her effort to answer that question, Cynthia Bourgeault examines the Bible, church tradition, art, legend, and newly discovered texts to see what's there.

Fascinating, Compelling, Beautiful
Reviewed: 08-23-21
I was captivated by this book and struck by some of the author's insights into certain biblical passages that have been misconstrued or misinterpreted and yet commonly, pervasively accepted as absolute truth for so long. She doesn't just suggest a misinterpretation then leave you to take her word for it - she walks through the actual biblical words with you so you can see exactly what she means and can discern for yourself. Also, I am female but do not consider myself a "feminist", per se, and appreciate the author does not come across as pushing feminist agenda down my throat, as many tend to do. I also do not feel my faith or Christianity threatened by the ideas in this book. Rather, I find my faith and myself reinvigorated. It is fascinating food for thought, and much of it has the ring of truth. While I don't adopt all of it as my own belief, some of it I believe wholeheartedly and will not see in the same old way again. Fascinating, compelling, beautiful. A must "read".
PS: The narrator mispronounces quite a few words, but don't let that deter you from listening.
