What can we really know for sure about the past? Can anything be trusted as reliable historical fact? In particular, are the historical sources for the life, death and resurrection of Jesus trustworthy? Did a man called Jesus really live in first century Palestine, or is he a figure of legend or a made-up story? In this timely book, historian John Dickson unpacks how history works so that we have the tools to evaluate what we can confidently say about figures like Emperor Tiberius, Pontius Pilate, High Priest Caiaphas, and, of course, Jesus of Nazareth. He presents the evidence and the conclusions of the vast majority of scholars—both Christian and not—in this area. But more than that, he asks some more pertinent questions: If Jesus really did exist, was he who he claimed to be and if so, what does that mean for you today?

One of the reasons people sometimes avoid looking into Christianity is that there are so many Christianities on offer, each with their spin on things, their own rituals and practices, their own religious package.But just imagine if we were able to get beyond this

If I Were God, I'd End All the Pain: Struggling with Evil, Suffering and Faith

Written from a Christian perspective, this books struggles honestly with a dilemma facing 'believers' and 'unbelievers' alike: With so many religions on offer, can one of them be considered true? Or are they different paths up the same spiritual mountain? And how can any one person sort their way through the maze of claims?Review: Evangelicals Now, July 2003Get this book! For yourself and for those who are thoughtfully seeking.Loosely based on Paul's sermon to the Athenians, the book helps people to think through the issue of clarity in the minefield of religious faiths.It helpfully probes the issue that all faiths are of equal value and shows that such thinking is neither logical nor fair to the claims of those faiths.The book goes on to suggest that certain faiths lend themselves to being more thoroughly examined because they make claims which can be checked and verified, and therefore offer a seeker a degree of confidence in their claims.It is important to realise that the book is not seeking to explain the Christian faith, but is rather encouraging people to see that Christianity is a faith that repeatedly offers us evidence of its truthfulness.Reviewed by Simon Percy, Woodford Evangelical Church.
