This volume is on my short shelf of all-time best books. Habermas builds his case with careful research and analysis, including an examination of what extra-biblical sources such as the gnostic gospels can add to the weight of proof for Christ's existence and the main outlines of what we can know with historical certainty about him--a good deal more than I had supposed.

- First words
- Introduction: The subject of the historical Jesus is of primary interest today, both in scholarly and popular circles.
Throughout church history, there has always been an interest in expressing the story of Jesus in terms of a historical survey of his life. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The place that the resurrection might play in validating Christian theism today is a fit sequel for just such a study, for the only time that such a resurrection is ever known to have occurred, it happened to the very person who made the most unique claims in the history of religions.
