The Jesus Inquest

The Jesus Inquest by Charles Foster is an excellent book.  It attacks and defends the theory of the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ at the same time.  Charles Foster is a lawyer from England who has spent the majority of his life studying the resurrection and the arguments for and against the common belief that exists in the Christian world.  The beautiful thing about this book is the fact that it was written from a position of doubt and produced a position of faith.  Foster openly admits that the book comes from his struggle with the common belief that Jesus Christ lived on the earth, died on the cross, and triumphed over the grave.  He felt that there had to be evidence for him to truly believe and so the book takes the reader from a beginning discussion of common theories to the end where the evidence points to a stronger faith in the truth of Jesus Christ.  I recommend this book to those serious Bible students who would like to know more about how to address the rumors and arguments concerning the crucifixion and resurrection.
