Christ and the Critics

By Hilarin Felder and John Stoddard

"Christ and the Critics" is a comprehensive and scholarly defense of the divinity of Jesus Christ and the historical reliability of the Gospels. This two-volume set meticulously addresses the challenges posed by rationalism and higher biblical criticism, offering a rigorous examination of the person of Jesus, His self-consciousness, and His messianic claims.

The work provides a systematic exploration of the historical evidence for the life of Christ, the validity of His miracles, and the theological significance of His resurrection. By engaging directly with the arguments of secular historians and liberal theologians, the text constructs a robust intellectual framework for traditional Christian belief. It delves into the psychological and historical aspects of the New Testament, seeking to demonstrate that the portrait of Christ presented in the Gospels is both consistent and historically grounded.

Written with academic precision, "Christ and the Critics" remains a significant landmark in Catholic apologetics. It serves as an essential resource for students of theology, biblical scholars, and any reader seeking a profound understanding of the historical and theological foundations of the Christian faith. This work stands as a testament to the enduring dialogue between faith and reason in the study of the New Testament.
