The Case for Jesus

In this book, Dr. Pitre argued about the historical arguments of Jesus about the truthfulness of the gospels and how those books work with the divinity of Jesus, in light of the first century DC Jewish traditions and perceptions. The book is in a way an answer to the old telephone game argument for the words of Jesus Christ and the L trilemma of C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, which is that given Jesus' affirmations, he was either a liar, a lunatic or the Lord. By opposing the views that the gospels are merely folklore and not historical biographies, Dr. Pitre brings fresh arguments to the relevance of Jesus Christ's words and sacrifice. This book is a great refutation of some of “enlightened” ideas of modern gospel analysis.
