Too Good to Be False: How Jesus' Incomparable Character Reveals His Reality - Tom Gilson

Descriere Too Good to Be False: How Jesus' Incomparable Character Reveals His Reality - Tom Gilson

\nWhat if we take the story of Jesus seriously--as a story? Skeptics urge us to do that--it's only a story, they say, a legend just like many other god-stories from ancient days. Why do we treat it as anything more than that? Too Good To Be False takes up that question with an approach no author has taken in close to a century. This book shows that although the skeptics' question may be a fine one, the answer they give is as far from truth as it could be. Jesus' character is unlike any other. No other hero--whether of history, myth, imagination, or legend--has loved as he loved, led as he led, cared as he cared, or understood himself as Jesus understood himself. Christians reading this book will encounter Jesus in fresh, worshipful new ways, and skeptics may discover his character is too unique, too consistent, and entirely too good to be false. Includes a study guide for small group discussion. \nToo Good to be False will give you a truly fresh view of Jesus, filled with insights into his character like you've never seen or heard before-because nothing like this has been published in close to a century. This book will awaken your worship and strengthen your faith in him. You'll see more clearly than ever just how much Jesus' character is unlike any other, including the so-called greats of history, or even of myth, imagination, or legend. No one else has loved as he loved, led as he led, cared as he cared, or understood himself as Jesus understood himself. He stands magnificently alone-a truth that will not only encourage believers but also challenge skeptics who tell us it's only a story. Using an approach today's skeptics have never faced, the author takes the story of Jesus seriously as a story, and finds his character too consistent, too unique, and too extraordinarily good to be mere legend, as skeptics suppose him to be. He's truly too good to be false.
