Every book by Bart Ehrman causes fierce controversy, but in this one he outdid himself and surprised everyone. A man who was considered an enemy of Christianity proves that Jesus of Nazareth is a real historical figure. Ehrman wrote this book with fear and trembling, and what he accomplished will determine the direction of all conversations about the beginnings of Christianity for many, many years. A unique overview of modern scientific views, bold interpretations of the Gospel texts, brilliant intellectual challenges - all this awaits you in the pages of Bart Ehrman's new book, which became the subject of heated debate even before its release.
