About This Book

The author subjects Christian accounts of miraculous events and prophetic fulfillment to two tests drawn from the religion’s own standards: corroboration by multiple witnesses and compatibility with earlier scriptural conceptions of the deity and prophecy. Sequential chapters examine birth narratives, baptismal testimonies, reported miracles, prophetic citations, the resurrection and ascension, and other supernatural occurrences, calling attention to divergences among gospel reports and tensions with Old Testament portrayals. The work unfolds as a reasoned critique designed to assist readers who face a conflict between inherited belief and critical inquiry, ending with reflections aimed at those re-evaluating religious authority.
