Absolutely phenomenal read. Read this for extra credit in a class, and it's the best book we've had so far. Really enjoyed it, very well written, well put together, excellent book.
This was a captivating insightful read. The layout and structure was easy to get through. The dialogue and writing was good. It tackled a lot of tough questions. Really enjoyed this book!
Wow. Great read! I like to say that I have a scientific mind and that I enjoy learning about history and primary documents. With that being said much of the evidence gathered in this book is given by those that have spent years studying the authenticity of the gospels and the story of Jesus. It is difficult at times to take the words of an expert when they say; ‘trust me on this’ but much of the counterpoints may have evolved from just overthinking the issue.
I would recommend this book to anyone who doubts or wants to learn about the story of Jesus.

4.8/5
this book was such a unique commentary on Christianity as it is a journalistic view on Jesus, his life, his teachings, and the authenticity of the Bible.
The Bible has over 5000 manuscripts to validate it’s authenticity, which is so cool! This book is definitely a really cool read for anyone and everyone.

Very engaging and an easy read. Logically laid out and meticulously researched - fantastic argument for the truth of the gospels.
I couldn't buy into their starting premise. And since the starting premise is flawed, all their following logical constraints were illogical and ridiculous
I'm a Christian, for disclosure. I found this book very hard to read tho. I didn't care for all the crime stories to start each chapter and the overall tone and rhythm of the conversations seemed very Hollywood, or produced. Now, I have no doubt that the interviews actually happened, I'm familiar with many of the interviewees and I can't imagine them letting their names be dragged around without consent, but this was not the book for me. I've read many over books that roughly go over the sake material that are much easier to digest.
A journey investigating the evidence of Jesus - and was pretty interesting. The one thing I didn't like is the author always knew the answers to the questions he was posing to people he interviewed. He had read their books, he had done the research - the interviews just seemed to be there to include a dialogue. I do wish the author had included a more balanced view on his topics - each person interviewed only supported his final decision and he didn't provide a very balanced view - and not a true independant journalist view in my opinion.
This book was interesting and there were some things I found surprising but I read this book thinking specifically about the people that I know that are set in their belief that God is not real and Jesus was just a man. I already believe in God so I was hoping for something that would be very convincing for someone who doesn't believe, at all. I felt that the fact that many of the experts got their education from faith-based schools would cause those people that don't believe to feel those experts were biased. Also, since this was approached as a "case" being investigated and presented to a jury I was waiting for the cross witness or the other attorney (disbeliever) to ask their questions of the expert witnesses. The author does ask the experts what they think about some things critics have said or written in their books etc., but these things seemed pretty mellow most of the time or completely out there. I know there are some scholars on both sides that have had some intense debates that would be more interesting to witness for me. A lot of the time the experts were giving their opinions and the author seemed to accept them too easily when I know other people would still have doubts and questions. Of course, this book is about the author's personal experience and how he went about this process for himself and each person is encouraged to do their own investigation.
