Who is this Jesus? The ancient Christian arguments for Jesus' identity as fully God and fully man depend on the validity of the apostolic eyewitnesses who wrote their memoirs about him. But contemporary critics maintain that these documents, termed "Gospels" by the early Christians, are much more likely to have been written some 400 years after the events. And, further, that rival "gospels" that portray an otherworldly gnostic Jesus were dismissed by the Church based on arbitrary reasoning. Brant Pitre engages these criticisms decisively in his The Case for Jesus.
