Product information
  • The Case for Jesus: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ
  • Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies?
  • Did Jesus claim to be God?
  • What is the evidence for the Resurrection?
  • How can the four Gospels be historically true when there are differences between them?

Are the Gospels historically accurate, and can they be trusted? The bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist provides an answer that will shock readers and undermine more than 100 years of biblical scholarship. 

Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre 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 much faith should be put into these writings?
  • Were the four Gospels really anonymous? 
  • Were the four Gospels written too late to be reliable?
  • What about the so-called “Lost Gospels,” such as “Q” and the Gospel of Thomas?
  • Is Jesus divine in all four Gospels? Or only in John?
  • Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah?
  • Why was Jesus crucified?

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. 

With an Afterword written by Bishop Robert Barron.

 

“This book will prove to be a most effective weapon… against the debunking and skeptical attitudes toward the Gospels that are so prevalent, not only in academe, but also on the street, among young people who, sadly, are leaving the Churches in droves.” – Bishop Robert Barron, author of Catholicism

When you are dealing with

"When you are dealing with atheist, you only believe in science. This book proves Jesus Christ was a real man living at the time. That's why I love it so much. It's for all of us Christian soldiers who are fighting the war against non-believers who believe in it so much. Nothing. I mean i'm sure i'm not the only one dealing with atheists. ."

Great Book

"Excellent book. The evidence for Jesus is neatly layed out and is one of the best arguments I've seen wrapped up in one novel."

— Hunter S. (5/5)

Very Good read

"Although I haven't started this book yet, I have read other books by him. They were all well sourced. In every one he makes his case."

— Mary S. (5/5)

Excellent book

"If you want to debunk Bart Ehrman's claims this is the book to read. So many young college students are being poisoned with this nonsense that the Bible is a fairy tale and Jesus was just one of many men claiming to be the Messiah. Thank you Dr. Pitre for your logical and factual book that is easy to read and full of evidence showing the authenticity of the Christian faith."

— Theresa M. (5/5)

The Case FOR jesus

"an excellent explanation of predictions in the Old Testament of Jesus' coming as THE Messiah and Son of God."

— Mary O. (5/5)

The Case for Jesus

"The book was very informative and held my interest. I wished that the author had gone into certain areas and thoughts in more detail. Each time he said he didn't have enough room, I wished he had as those were the times I wanted more out of the explanation. That being said, I recommend this as it is definitely insightful and strengthened my belief in a world where you hear over and over that Jesus was just a teacher. . . . which drives me to prove them all wrong."

— Colette (5/5)
