Thank you for reading my review :) Yes, a lot of people do believe that Jesus existed. This book just represents someone with a different opinion.

Thank you for leaving a comment :) Yes, a lot of people do start believing in Jesus later in life despite growing up in an atheist household. This book merely represents the view of someone who has a different opinion.

Eva Darrington wrote: 06 Sep 2018, 20:47 I recently read and reviewed a book called Misreading Judas, about the Gnostic Gospel of Judas. It wasn't intending to prove Jesus' nonexistence. The theory was that Jesus was but one in a series of great masters of that time, that Judas was never a betrayer of Jesus but rather succeeded Jesus as master. I really enjoyed it and was impressed by the original research. I suspect I would really enjoy Deciphering the Gospels. I do believe Jesus existed, but I am also interested in other possibilities. Thank you for a very good review.
Thank you for leaving a comment! Misreading Judas sounds like an interesting book and I think I might have a look into it sometime in the future!

Thank you for leaving a comment! Yes, this book might offend a lot of Christians so I wouldn't recommend it to those who believe in Jesus.

Thank you for your review. Though I am interested in how he could prove that with the four main gospels having statements of Jesus existence throughout their recounts, I will pass on this as well.

Curious as to how he would weigh in on the Pliny writings but still not interested enough to read it through.

Thank you for reading my review :) The author did not mention the Pliny writings in this book, but perhaps it will be mentioned in a second book.

I believe Jesus exists. There are many things that prove it. The people that thinks Jesus does not exist, will believe some day. Life drives us to believe sooner or later.

Unfortunately, my interest in these types of debates are limited to merely acknowledging that there are people with different perspectives. I won't read this book simply because it doesn't interest me that much. Your review, however, was well-done and very much appreciated.

The extra-biblical accounts are increasing being proven to be dubious.
