Thanks for pinging me to this review. I’m not sure how you could not deal with some of the miracles, even if written as a third hand account. It was Christ’s miracles that caused Herod’s desire to see Jesus. When Jesus wouldn’t performed a miracle for Herod, he got angry and sent Him back to Pilate.

Since none of us have actually read the book, we don’t know if there are accounts for miracles in the book.

The resurrection was certainly a miracle. Was there an account of the resurrection in the book? We don’t know yet. Therefore, I will hold off on my critique of the book.

There are lots of other books about the historical Jesus. Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel are excellent choices. Hopefully people will become more interested in this person Jesus and will want to read more books about the subject.

Also, there are a lot of “all-knowing” atheists that thinki they know everything. Some don’t even know of a historical Jesus. This may also help some like new Christians that aren’t so good at defending their faith better know there is a historical Jesus.
