2nd Hand - Verdict On Jesus 5th Edition By Leslie Badham

2nd hand almost new with a dent on the cover. 2010 edition  SPCK

This classic work, way ahead of its time when first published, offers a radical re-examination of the essence of Christianity, and asks why the figure of Jesus still has the power to transform human hearts and minds. Seen in this perspective, Jesus is unique: his influence on our moral and spiritual thinking is out of all proportion to his brief 3 year ministry in first century Galilee. Is such a life an accident or a revelation? The author presents the evidence and asks: what is your verdict?

This edition includes 3 new chapters addressing key issues for today: Paul Badham considers the reasonableness of belief in the face of attacks by the 'new atheists'; Kathy Ehrensperger reviews recent advances in historical Jesus research; and Gregory A Barker looks at the significance of Jesus from the perspectives of other world religions.

The result is clear, up-to-date and very readable defence of Christian belief that thinking people of all religious backgrounds will find both persuasive and illuminating.
