The author believes that over the past 40 years movements like New Age spirituality and society's obsession with human potential have combined like a "perfect storm" to redefine for popular culture what has been for centuries the classic biblical definition of the person, work, and teaching of Jesus Christ.

In Why Jesus?, Ravi Zacharias looks at the impact of this "storm" by discussing the 60s-70s "Age of Aquarius," actor Shirley MacLaine's book and TV series Out on a Limb, author James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy), Rhonda Byrne (The Secret), Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), and other books by Eckart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, the Dali Lama, and Marianne Williamson. Special attention will be given to the influence of Oprah Winfrey's media platform in reshaping society by introducing and promoting certain books and authors.

Major new age and human potential tenets will be discussed like: the belief that we are all gods and have to discover our divinity; Jesus was only a good teacher; Christianity is but one among many ways to eternal life; reincarnation is real; Jesus was married; truth is relative; there is no sin; and perfection is possible.

The truth of and the arguments for the bodily resurrection of Jesus will be presented as the most important argument for the exclusive claims about Jesus and Christianity.

This is a fantastic must read for anyone who seeks to defend Christ in this modern era. Zacharias ably defends Biblical Christianity in a way few in this era can do. He challenges the "Spirituality" that is being mass marketed and even admits where the Church has failed in recent years. This is not light listening and is one I will undoubtedly listen to several times and may ultimately seek a printed version as well.

A Fantastic Must Read!

Books like this help us wade through the propaganda that's being spread about history. Thank you Mr Zacharias for your commitment to facts and logic.

I didn't find this book to be as good as some of Ravi's other books, but it is certainly still deserving of merit. He definitely brought up some good points. I did really like how Ravi read the book himself.

Ravi brought up some really good points.

What did you love best about Why Jesus??

The comparison between thoughts as well as the effect media has on people and the effect people have on media. Finally why Jesus always will stand the test of time.

Have you listened to any of Ravi Zacharias’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened or read all of Ravi's books. Big fan! This one is up there with all the good ones again.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I try to absorb his arguments and thought. I seldomly become emotional about things; however Ravi does have the ability to bring things close to home, which does evoke emotion as always with his readings. Through the years listening and reading his books I have become a follower of Mr Zacharias' books and arguements. I am glad to say I have become bias.

Any additional comments?

Ravi Zacharias is a gift from God. Everyone on this planet should become a reader of his work. His approach is gentlemanly, but stern and rock solid. His knowledge of the Bible and other religions is incredible. In my eyes I think we are seeing the equivalent of a modern day Paul. Please continue Mr. Zacharias. I am happy to be a Christian and stand alongside men like Mr. Zacharias.

Ravi. Excellent as always.

Mr Zacharias shows both his passion for truth and his love of God. No beating around the bush as he tackles core issues throughout the book. Money well spent.

Phenomenal
