Synopsis

For more than a century, Bible scholars and university researchers have been systematically debunking what ordinary Christians believed about Jesus of Nazareth. But what if the most recent Biblical scholarship actually affirmed the New Testament? What if Jesus was not a Zealot revolutionary, or a Greek Cynic philosopher, or a proto-feminist Gnostic, but precisely what he claimed to be: the divine Son of Man prophesied in the Book of Daniel who gave his life as a ransom for many? What if everything the Gospels say about Jesus of Nazareth—his words, his deeds, his plans—turned out to be true? Searching for Jesus changes “what if?” to “what is,” debunking the debunkers and showing how the latest scholarship supports orthodox Christian belief.

4.5/5 Again, this was well-written, but I disagree with a few things. The main point in this book I don't agree with is that Jesus didn't die as a penal substitution for our sins, but as a martyr. Hutchinson's view is that Jesus' death is not our salvation, but that He died simply because of His mess......more

Goodreads review by Michael on December 28, 2016

This book does a great job addressing the criticisms and conjectures of liberal theologians and academics attempting to cast doubt on the account of Jesus Christ's life and ministry. Robert Hutchinson does this both logically and factually, and then shows these critics' own logical fallacies and int......more

Goodreads review by G0thamite on August 23, 2016

Hutchinson reviews currently controversies in New Testament and Jesus studies and demonstrates that there is nothing that controverts a conservative position on many of these issues. He includes an interesting survey of many archaeological finds that bear on the Gospels.......more
