The neo-atheist movement poses as a champion of reason, questioning the validity of the New Testament accounts of Jesus Christ. They argue that these accounts are based on myths and legends, and that the historical Jesus may not have existed at all. However, this comprehensive critique challenges these claims, exposing the flaws in their historical and philosophical reasoning. It presents a robust defense of the historical Jesus, separating fact from fiction and providing a clear path to understanding the truth about Jesus. "Peter Williams' latest book, Getting at Jesus, is a tour de force. As a highly respected Christian intellectual, Williams tackles the most pressing questions about Jesus with rigor, skill, and insight. The result is a masterful work that is both deeply researched and engagingly written. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a thoughtful and balanced approach to understanding Jesus." --JP Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University "The neo-atheist movement's claims about Jesus are built on shaky ground, and Peter S. Williams is the perfect guide to help us navigate the complex landscape of historical and philosophical evidence. With meticulous care, Williams assembles a formidable array of scholarly testimony to challenge these claims, revealing the flaws in the critics' own reasoning. This book is a must-read for anyone who values evidence over propaganda." --Craig L. Blomberg, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary Peter S.
