Will The Real Jesus Stand Up


Whether your vision of Jesus is the more traditional imaginary one of the soulful face with long hair, beard and expecting eyes,

OR

------------------------------

the more accurate picture of him as a real man of his time, place and culture.

-------------------------------------

------------ONE QUESTION HAS ALWAYS INTRIGUED ME
--------------------------------

We have the Book of Matthew, the Book of Mark, the Book of Luke and the Book of John, plus scads of other works apocryphal, anecdotal, etc. BUT

there is NO Book of Jesus.

Why is that?

Why did the most influential man on the planet leave nothing but hearsay behind?

And if something sounds stupid it generally isn't true.

So it's probably not true that Jesus left no written works behind.

That means whatever was left behind was destroyed.

The ramifications are truly staggering.
