This review is from: Christ on Earth: The Gospel Narratives as History (Paperback)

If you want a book who give's answers to questions such as: a) Can i trust the gospels?, b) Why are there four gospels?, c) What to do with the differences between the gospels, d) Why did Christ came anyway?, e) How to deal with modern critics?, etcetera. Than, this is the book you must read! Van Bruggen is a scholar who knows how to handle his pen, so that the non-theologian (the christian next door) can easaliy read this book. Your faith in Christ will grow. For the index of the book: take a look at the "look inside" on this page. It is not only a book for selfstudy, it is also easaliy to use in a biblestudy group, or discussiongroup.
