  • Jesus, Interrupted

    A devastating and surprising indictment of Christianity! I knew there were some problems with the Bible and it containing some contradictions, but Christians NEVER tell you the contradictions are MAJOR, and totally undermine their religion! I guess it's no wonder they don't ever mention these problems, but still, you would think they could at least be a particle honest about it. The Gospels of Mark and John don't even agree on the day of Jesus' crucifixion! And it gets worse: the Gospels of Paul and Luke disagree on whether or not Jesus' death provides atonement for sin! Christians don't have a religion for us with that contradiction! And more and more problems are revealed: Mark has Jesus in despair and doubt on the way to the cross, Luke says Jesus was in control and calm. Matthew says Christians must follow the Law to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Paul denies this absolutely. John records Jesus performing signs to prove He was God's son, Matthew says Jesus refused to do so. The inescapable conclusion is Christianity, (all 40,000 schisms!) are religions ABOUT Jesus, not one of them is the religion OF Jesus ! You cannot 'believe' in a religion that has NOTHING after you see the contradictions Christianity is saddled with. I never thought Christianity could be totally disproven with just the Bible, but here we are. I don't know how Christians can fix this, I'd say about the only option left is to look into Buddhism or Hinduism. Better rule out the Mormons too. Jesus Interrupted is an amazing book, that's for sure, but it blows the entire Christian faith out of the water, and it does so without leaving a jot or tittle of doubt.

  • Factual and concise anaylsis of questions concerning biblical record and veracity of biblical message of who Christ actually was and his message.

    this book is amazing. Written by a man who was an evangelical Christian who learned a bit more about the historical basis of the Christ story than he bargained for in a Comparative Religion class during seminary studies.

  • God...or not

    If you have questioned whether there is a God or not, this is a book for you. Professor Ehrman answered my questions.

  • So so

    I thought it was gonna be somewhere in the middle between religious and non-religious but so far it seems very dry and boring and definitely leaning more towards the religious side, but who knows hopefully it gets better. It sounded like it would be very interesting.
