Investigate Jesus for Sceptics by Michael Green
Jesus for Sceptics is a bethinking book written for those who are sceptical about Jesus but are open to examining and considering the evidence for Jesus. The author writes that he sought to be "brief but accurate and arresting", considering such questions as:
"Who was Jesus?"
"Have we any reliable information about him?"
"Why was he killed?"
"Is the resurrection possible?"
"What difference could he make to my life?"
View brief videos by Michael Green setting out what he tries to do in each chapter of the book.
