Summary
Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number of different questions, including: If we don't know who wrote the Gospels, how can we trust them? How are the four Gospels different from other Gospels, such as the lost Gospel of "Q" and the Gospel of Thomas? How can the four Gospels be historically true when there are differences between them? How much faith should be put into these writings?
As The Case for Jesus will show, recent discoveries in New Testament scholarship as well as neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early church fathers together have the potential to pull the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the apostolic authorship and historical truth of the traditional Gospels.

Insightful and Argued Well
A beautiful apologetic about the Case for Jesus. I especially loved the parts about the Transfiguration and the arguments against supposed anonymous gospels.

Fascinating history: context is important
Brilliant book. Context is important and the insights into historical ancient Judaism contained in these 'pages' shed so much light on who Jesus Christ was and why He said some of the things He did. Pitre helps us understand Messianic expectations within ancient Judaism like Messianic timing. Once you start this book it's one you will read through probably more than once. only problem is which of Brant Pitre's books to read next.

Wonderful - a great book for all searchers.
A brilliant book that grapples with the historical authenticity of the Gospels, their veracity and the historical person of Jesus Christ. Whether you are searching for answers or just curious, this is definitely worth listening to. It shows just how solid the basis for Christianity is. Learn about Jesus here but the invitation to believe in Him and grow in that relationship is left up to the reader.

Brilliantly researched
So many questions about the historical Jesus are answered by the author. In this book assumptions and myths are debunked. Jesus is presented as the person featured the gospels, but only after strict interrogation. The only remaining question, is the one of faith

A refreshing look at the best story ever told.
Dr Pitre illustrates how being familiar with the thoughts and customs of a 1st century Jew's we are able to explore with greater depth and awe the beautiful and transformative messages of Jesus Christ.

Exceptional Book for anyone who is interested in Jesus Robert has a great mind and is a brilliant communicator
This book needs to be read by the new Atheists, practicing Catholics, lapsed Catholics, all Christians, and everyone who might doubt the divinity of Christ!

The Truth Examined and Presented so Well
What a fascinating story of the author and how he came to write this book. There is no blind faith or leaps in the dark as he presents the evidence and facts for the story that is told in the Bible, supported by evidence outside of scripture, demolishing opposing arguments one by one. Superb.
