For well over a hundred years now, many scholars have questioned the historical truth of the Gospels, claiming that they were originally anonymous. Others have even argued that Jesus of Nazareth did not think he was God and never claimed to be divine.
In The Case for Jesus, Dr. Brant Pitre, the bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, goes back to the sources--the biblical and historical evidence for Christ--in order to answer several key questions, including:
Were the four Gospels really anonymous?
Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies?
Were the four ...

PRAISE FOR THE CASE FOR JESUS
Ive lost count of how many times Ive heard critics say the Gospels are late, anonymous, and untrustworthy sources that dont prove Jesus was divine. At last there is a book that meticulously refutes these claims with an engaging discussion of the real Jesus that will benefit both scholars and laymen who read it.
Trent Horn, author of Answering Atheism
Thanks to Dr. Pitres magnificent book, you will now be equipped to make the case for Jesus and the truth of the Gospels to even the most ardent skeptics.
Jennifer Fulwiler, author of Something Other Than God
In The Case for Jesus, Pitre breaks his down research, in typically accessible prose, to bring us a readable and fascinating account of how questioning one accepted academic idea put him on a path of discovery that served to strengthen, not sever, his faith. Readers who loved Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist will come away from this book with a similar sense of gratitude for such a faith-affirming presentation, and also a bit of awestruck wonder at how faith and reason can complement each other so well when allowed to. I loved this book!
Elizabeth Scalia, author of Strange Gods: Unmasking the Idols in Everyday Life and Little Sins Mean a Lot
Brant Pitre does a stellar job setting forth a robust and rock-solid case for Jesus. The sensationalistic claims of superskeptics are exposed as a sham as Pitre provides a meticulous presentation of the evidence about the reliability of the Gospels, who Jesus thought he was, and what Jesus means today.
Michael F. Bird, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia
The Case for Jesus topples the naive skepticism that too often dominates the study of the Gospels, by showing that the evidence for the truth of the Gospels is far stronger than is often assumed. Pitre has a unique talent for putting scholarly work of the highest caliber into an accessible and engaging form. This book should be on the shelf of every homilist, catechist, and Bible study leader.
Mary Healy, Sacred Heart Major Seminary
Brant Pitre, who has already demonstrated his brilliant scholarship in earlier works, explains here in remarkably easy to understand ways why we can trust the Gospels. Behind his effective communication, however, is wide-ranging research and careful rethinking. In fact, this book has given me a number of important new matters to consider myself.
Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary
In this important book, one of Americas most brilliant young scholars wrestles with issues of profound importance concerning Jesus and his identity. Pitre, in a lively and direct manner informed by up-to-date scholarship, presents a case for Jesus as the divine Son of God, fully human and fully God. Along the way he bursts some scholarly bubbles and sets a much needed cat among the proverbial pigeons. A delight to read!
Chris Tilling, Kings College, London
Like a room full of stale air, the popular-level conversation about Christian origins could use an open window or two. Thankfully, we now have one in Brant Pitres The Case for Jesus. Personable, accessible, engagingall supported by top-notch scholarship. Read it.
Nicholas Perrin, dean of Wheaton College Graduate School

FOR MORGEN THERESA
Joy comes with the morning.
Psalm 30:5
Who do you say that I am?
Jesus of Nazareth (Mark 8:29)
F irst, thanks must go to then Fathernow BishopRobert Barron, who gave me the idea for this book several years ago when, in the midst of a very stimulating conversation, he suggested that someone needed to write something refuting the popular Telephone game analogy for the origins of the Gospels. I hope this book does the job. Next in line: my incredible editor, Gary Jansen, whose brilliant suggestions fundamentally transformed this book in ways that he alone knows but from which all of its readers will benefit. It is a pleasure and an honor to work with you. Every single time. Thanks also to Archbishop Gregory Aymond, Fr. James Wehner, and Notre Dame Seminary for graciously granting me a yearlong research and writing sabbatical in 201415. This book is among several fruits of that unforgettable year, for which I am profoundly grateful. Id also like to thank friends and colleagues who read through drafts of the manuscript and helped enormously with their excellent feedback, especially Michael Barber, John Bergsma, Jeffrey Morrow, Brian Rohm, Todd Russell, Jimmy Seghers, and Andrew Swafford. You guys are the best. A much-belated word of gratitude is owed to my brother-in-law Chris Scott: thanks for over twenty years of great conversations, great friendship, and one blazing insight into Jesuss response to the rich young man (which you may not remember but I will never forget). To my childrenMorgen, Aidan, Hannah, Marybeth, and Lilliathank you for bringing joy and light into my life every day. I hope one day youll read this book and come away knowing Jesus better. Its the least I can do in exchange for all that you have taught me about him. Morgen, this one is for you in a special way. Last, but certainly not least, to my lovely wife, Elizabeth, who moonlights as my in-house editor: how I wish I were as good a writer (and as beautiful a soul) as you. Thank you for sticking with me through the darker years when I was really searching, and for being there when the dawn finally broke.
by Robert Barron
A bout ten years ago I found myself at the Pittsburgh Airport waiting for a car to pick me up and take me to a biblical conference at which I was scheduled to speak. I was, soon enough, joined by two other scholars who were also presenters. Then this young man ambled toward our circle and shyly announced that he was heading to the conference as well. Since he looked as though he were about twenty years old, I presumed that he was a collegiate attendee and I asked him, Where do you go to school? To which he responded, No, no, I already have my doctorate from Notre Dame. Im a speaker, too! Thats how I met Dr. Brant Pitrewho now looks about twenty-five.
