I know some folks who are getting into (reading books on) this whole secret society conspiracy stuff where they believe Jesus is basically a myth (in whole and/or in part). I'm not one who believes people can keep little secrets very well so a conspiracy seems ludicrous to me.

So here's my question, does anyone have any book suggestions on the historical Jesus?

I'd like to read them myself and then offer them as an alternative to these folks I know. Sometimes it's easy to form an opinion if you've only heard one side.

Thanks,
Phillip

HI PWPATTON:

Paul Eddy and I will be coming out with a book next fall called The Jesus Myth? It will aim at refuting all versions of the theory that Jesus is a mythological figure. Otherwise, there's no real scholarly book on this particular topic (which is why we're writting one). But there ARE a host of books that give book historical defenses of the Christian view of Jesus. I think the best book that is readable by laypeople is Lee Stroble's The Case for Christ.

Best wishes,

Greg
