Dethroning Jesus Summary

Dethroning Jesus: Exposing Popular Culture's Quest to Unseat the Biblical Christ by Darrell L. Bock

New York Times bestselling author Dr. Darrell Bock teams up with Dr. Daniel Wallace to help you separate fact from fiction among constant attacks on Christianity from popular culture and bogus scholars.

There is a quest going on to reduce Jesus to a mythic legend or to nothing more than a mere man. Scholars such as Elaine Pagels and James Tabor are using recent discoveries like the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Thomas to argue that the Christ of Christianity is a contrived figure and that a different Christ-one human and not divine-is the true Christ.

Both research professors, Bock and Wallace set out a vigorous defense of Christianity against a popular trend that they dub Jesusanity, where Christ was simply a human teacher. In their trademark, easy-to-understand style, the authors take on attempts to redefine Jesus in a convincing way that will help you understand that the orthodox understanding of Christ and his divinity is as trustworthy and sure as it ever was. This book:

  • Refutes the six main claims that represent a large part of skepticism about Jesus today
  • Provides credible answers to attacks on the traditional texts
  • Defends against the interpretations of bogus scholars and the arguments of biased scholars
  • Constructs a positive case for the Jesus of faith

If you're exhausted by the constant attempts to dethrone Jesus, renew the security of your knowledge of who Jesus really is: the Son of God.
