A coherent, forceful, and compelling case for God and the church founded by Jesus of Nazareth. This is a remarkable achievement of solid, factual information that is loaded with ammunition for the new evangelization and contains colorful vignettes of historic moments alternating with sustained argument. Frederick Marks challenges the reader to set aside long-held assumptions and prejudices. Jesus is the only one who proclaimed himself sinless and the only one who ever claimed to be God. His followers converted an entire empire without resort to violence, and after winning Rome they not only gave the world its calendar but transformed pagan culture beyond recognition. These hard, cold facts are presented here with copious notes for easy identification of persons, events, or doctrines that may be unfamiliar. The reader will also find a detailed index and useful appendices.
