Representaion Supposing Books Reinventing Jesus: How Contemporary Skeptics Miss the Real Jesus and Mislead Popular Culture
From the worldwide phenomenon of The Da Vinci Code to the national best-seller Misquoting Jesus, popular culture is being bombarded with radical skepticism about the uniqueness of Christ and the reliability of the New Testament. Reinventing Jesus cuts through the rhetoric of extreme doubt expressed by these and several other contemporary voices to reveal the profound credibility of historic Christianity. Meticulously researched, thoroughly documented, yet eminently readable, this book invites a wide audience to take a firsthand look at the solid, reasonable, and clearly defensible evidence for Christianity's origins. Reinventing Jesus shows believers that it's okay to think hard about Christianity, and shows hard thinkers that it's okay to believe.

Ed Komoszewski and Daniel Wallace present a well informed and balanced reason/logic around New Testament Textual Criticism and build a substantial case concluding that the New Testament Manuscript evidence possessed today proves beyond a fair, reasonable doubt that the New Testament we possess today is the same New Testament the original authors penned. They write in an accessible style and language missing in much writing by scholars in the field. This is a good antidote to the fallaciousThere are a few ways in which some Christian books written for a general audience I've read annoy me. One is an over-reliance on anecdotes. Another is excessive use of filler. Another still is weak sourcing. This book has none of those gripes; in fact, it is probably one of the best books on Christianity I have read.Myth after myth after myth relating to Christianity are ripped to shreds, not with bitter remarks or impressive-sounding rhetoric, but with a firm, solid foundation in scholarship,

In some ways a lay-version and summary of other writings. 100 pages are a lay-version of Metzger's The Text of the New Testament. Valuable sumaries of older works against vacuous, modern attacks by historically illiterate people like Dan Brown.
In todays world, many books are being published that redefine Jesus in many ways. Skeptics attempt to make Him something He is not, the literal Son of God. They try to refute the Bible story, stating that it is made up or misquoted with errors. This book written by noted Bible scholars, explains why the current translations are almost 100% accurate. Effectively there are no doctrinal errors and the books in the New Testament were written by contemporaries while many other contemporaries were
Huaa...ayo baca lagiiii!!!*menyemangatidiri*
