Book Review: Jesus Skeptic



Jesus Skeptic
A Journalist Explores the Credibility and Impact of Christianity
by John S. Dickerson



Pub Date 15 Oct 2019


I am reviewing a copy of Jesus Skeptic through Baker Books and Netgalley:



Jesus Skeptic is not your typical book in the sense that it delves into the artifacts, and facts that show the reality of Jesus living as well as the impact that it has on our lives today.  


It is different too in that it shows the positive impact of Jesus’s story and the positive social impact it has today.


This is a journalist personal journey to realizing the impact that Jesus’s story has on us today.  At the beginning of this investigation John S Dickerson set out to answer these questions:


Did Jesus actually exist?
 Can Jesus’s teachings actually provide peace, identity, and fulfillment today? 


Do Jesus’s teachings block social justice and human progress—or do Jesus’s teachings further those causes?


Using some of the methods he uses in his reporting John S Dickerson begins a journey into Jesus’s life, not as a believer but as an Investigation Journalist, and one who admittedly was a skeptic.  This investigation into Christianity began with a man who was admittedly a skeptic.


In this book Dickerson takes nothing for granted as he explores whether Jesus lived and the impact whether Jesus lived and how his story changed the world.


Jesus Skeptic uncovers convincing physical evidence that will enlighten those who are seeking, skeptics as well as long time believers.  John S Dickerson has written a powerful and enlightening book for this generation.


I give Jesus Skeptic five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
