New York Times bestselling author Dr. Darrell Bock teams up with Dr. Daniel Wallace to help you separate fact from fiction among constant attacks on Christianity from popular culture and bogus scholars.
There is a quest going on to reduce Jesus to a mythic legend or to nothing more than a mere man. Scholars such as Elaine Pagels and James Tabor are using recent discoveries like the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Thomas to argue that the Christ of Christianity is a contrived figure and that a different Christ–one human and not divine–is the “true” Christ.
Both research professors, Bock and Wallace set out a vigorous defense of Christianity against a popular trend that they dub “Jesusanity”, where Christ was simply a human teacher. In their trademark, easy-to-understand style, the authors take on attempts to redefine Jesus in a convincing way that will help you understand that the orthodox understanding of Christ and his divinity is as trustworthy and sure as it ever was. This book:
- Refutes the six main claims that represent a large part of skepticism about Jesus today
- Provides credible answers to attacks on the traditional texts
- Defends against the interpretations of bogus scholars and the arguments of biased scholars
- Constructs a positive case for the Jesus of faith
If you’re exhausted by the constant attempts to dethrone Jesus, renew the security of your knowledge of who Jesus really is: the Son of God.

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook’s direct narration of a book’s text, Luke: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.
Our culture does not encourage thoughtful reflection on truth. Yet living the gospel in a postmodern culture demands that Christians understand and internalize the truth about God and his plan for the world. The book of Luke, in conjunction with its sequel found in Acts, is about God’s plan. Luke explains who Jesus was, what he did, why he came, and what role we have in his plan. Each chapter in Luke’s gospel challenges us to respond to God’s plan for unity as one people of God. Through Jesus, we come to oneness despite our varied backgrounds.
Luke: Audio Lectures by Darrell L. Bock, together with Bock’s accompanying NIV Application Commentary on Luke, brings the meaning of Luke’s gospel into the twenty-first century. Bock comments on the text itself and explores issues in Luke’s culture and in ours that help us understand the ultimate meaning of each passage.

Is Jesus who you think He is? Embark on this tour of the new claims as well as the controversial writings, examining their origins and comparing them with traditional sources.
Perhaps you’ve heard the recent buzz about “alternative Christianities” and “new gospels.” Speculations have shown up in magazines, documentaries, popular fiction, and even on the big screen. Much of the controversy stems from a library of ancient texts found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt
Now revolutionary questions about the Christian faith are being raised as a result of these findings:
- Is Jesus truly a divine Savior or just a teacher of wisdom?
- Is orthodoxy a by-product of third-century or fourth-century theologians?
- Did Judas betray Jesus because of evil intent or a request by Jesus?
- Does salvation include the physical body or just the soul?
Theology professor and author Darrell L. Bock takes on those scholars who want to reinterpret Christianity in light of early Gnostic teachings that denied the oneness of the Father and the Son and spiritualized the gospel stories into myths.
With discussion questions for group or individual study at the end of each chapter, The Missing Gospels will help you understand the messages of all these writings so you can form your own opinion. This provocative work could even change what you believe!
Study questions and a bibliography are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
