THE CASE FOR JESUS

In THE CASE FOR JESUS, bestselling author Brant Pitre poses the question: Are the Gospels historically accurate, and can they be trusted?
The answer he provides will shock readers and undermine more than 100 years of biblical scholarship.

Over the past five decades, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. Brant taps into 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? How can the four Gospels be historically true when there are differences between them? How much faith should be put into these writings?

As THE CASE FOR JESUS will show, recent discoveries in New Testament scholarship, as well as neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early Church fathers, together have the potential to pull the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the apostolic authorship and historical truth of the traditional Gospels.

BRANT PITRE is a professor of Sacred Scripture at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is the author of the bestselling book Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper (2011). Dr. Pitre is an extremely enthusiastic and highly sought after speaker and has produced dozens of Bible studies on both CD and DVD, in which he explores the biblical roots of the Catholic faith.
