Is Jesus History by John Dickson

‘What can we really know for sure about the past? Can we trust anything as reliable historical fact?

In particular, how seriously can we take the historical sources for the life, death and resurrection

of Jesus of Nazareth? Did he even really live in first-century Galilee and Judaea, or is he merely a

figure of legend? I hope that the contents of this short book will help you understand how

historians think and work, what can be confidently affirmed and what is mere speculation, and

how you yourself can come to an informed view about these important matters.’ JOHN DICKSON

John Dickson looks at the historical evidence for the existence of Jesus, presenting, analysing and weighing the written and other material that has come down to us from ancient times. John Dickson is a lecturer at the University of Sydney and a Senior Lecturer at Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia. Paperback, 160pp
