Exposing Myths About Christianity

Renowned historian, Jeffrey Burton Russell, famous for his studies of medieval history, turns to the serious questions that confront Christianity in contemporary culture. Russell examines a wide array of common mispercerptions, characterizations, stereotypes, caricatures and outright myths about Christianity that circulate heavily within today?s society, and are even believed by many Christians. In a succinct and engaging manner, Russell discusses these errors and provides thoughtful, even-handed, carefully researched and sharp-witted responses. The author sets the record straight against the New Atheists and other cultural critics who charge Christianity with being outdated, destructive, superstitious, unenlightened, racist, colonialist, based on fabrication, and other significant false accusations.

You can’t trust the Bible; it’s been translated too many times. Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah or God. Science has proven that miracles don’t happen (so the Bible is a fairytale). All religions basically teach the same thing (so all paths lead to God). Have you heard these? People say a lot of things about the Bible, God, Jesus, and Christianity that are simply not true. Like the guys on the popular cable show Mythbusters, it’s time we put these commonly held myths to the test. Following a brief summary of a recurring myth or misconception about the Christian faith, Fred explains why the myth is false and provides biblical and historical evidence in his response. He masterfully weaves together serious discussion with a touch of humor in his responses, all the while keeping the focus on the Scriptures. He avoids making fun of the people who hold views which differ from his own, but the views themselves are fair game. So grab a cup of coffee and find a cozy corner. Let’s do a little myth busting of our own.

The public are inundated with untruths about Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest figure in human history and the one by whom we date everything. Sometimes these truths emerge from the media and sometimes from specific assaults on Jesus by special interest groups and writers. Michael Green thoughtfully and robustly takes on the most important of these untruths. * Was Jesus just a mythical figure who never lived? * Were the Gospel accounts of him corrupt and written long after he lived? * Can we trust the text of the New Testament? * Was Mary Magdalene Jesus's lover? * Were the Gnostic Gospels just as good evidence as the four Gospels which Christians read today? * Did Jesus really die on the cross? And surely nobody these days believes in the resurrection? After all, hasn't the tomb of Jesus and his family been discovered? These are some of the issues addressed in this book. The author is an ancient historian as well as a New Testament scholar. He is not ashamed to call the misrepresentations about Jesus what they are - lies, lies, lies!

Popular Apologist Corrects the Record on What Christianity Is All About The Christianity our culture rejects may not be true Christianity at all. So many people today believe they have to be good to be accepted by God, or that the Bible is just a list of do's and don'ts, or that God is far away and unapproachable. Instead of providing "proofs" about God and the Bible, in this book Alex provides a reason to want to know Jesus. By sharing his own story of the loneliness and alienation of his youth, Alex taps in to universal fears of rejection and loneliness. We all seek acceptance and purpose--and there's only one solution. Learn how to be anchored in the Truth and security that comes through Christ.

In Liar: Exposing Myths In Spiritual Warfare, Mark Casto is releasing an invitation out of demonic fascination and into a superior knowledge that only exists in the life of devotion to Jesus. Join Mark on the journey to discover and learn: One word that causes all the plans of Satan to fail How five New Testament references to "war" and warfare" have zero connection to the demonic realm That angels war on behalf of the King to protect His intimacy with the Bride Victory comes through the knowledge of God and not understanding the characteristics of our adversary That ultimate victory for Yahweh is not Satan cast into the lake of fire Over two thousand years ago, Jesus announced the end of Satan's Kingdom, yet an overemphasis on the subject of Spiritual Warfare has reemerged the past forty years. Between a fragile gospel and a fearmongering eschatology could it be possible that we have continued the illegal conversation shared between Eve and the serpent in the garden? Have we ignored Paul's warning and become like the church in Corinth, "that somehow our pure and undivided devotion to Christ has been corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent?" We have become fascinated with the demonic, creating myth upon myth until the reality of Spiritual Warfare has been lost. It's time for the Liar to be exposed and for undivided devotion to Christ be restored. We are in the infancy stages of a new reformation, and unless we become like a teachable child, we are going to miss significant blueprints for the days ahead. Liar is the beginning of a journey for those who can hear the call to start developing a theology of Victory in Christ! With the door of the Garden of God wide open and access to such a high degree of Jesus' Presence, we must discontinue our fascination with an inferior realm.
