Short enough to read quickly but long enough to tackle the big questions, this full-colour, 32-page booklet deals with the origins of the gospel stories about Jesus; how they got to us today; and evidence for Jesus from outside the Bible. If you've ever wondered what the Bible actually is, or why it's worth reading, then this is for you.

Jesus is an amazing man; he changed human history. But can you really know anything about him? Hasn't the Bible been changed over the centuries? Andrew Errington takes a careful and balanced look at some of the big questions surrounding the history of Jesus. This immensely readable booklet is full of evidence, challenges and surprising conclusions. For example, did you know that the authors of the Bible were biased, and that's precisely why you should read them?
