The Divinity Hypothesis: A SCIENTIFIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY INTO THE IDENTITY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH: Did a First-Century Preacher from Nazareth Ful
Is "Jesus is God" a Blind Leap of Faith-Or the Most Rational Conclusion on Earth?
For centuries, the claim that Jesus Christ is God has been relegated to the realm of subjective belief, untouchable by science and history. But what if we've been wrong? What if the tools of modern scholarship-the principles of evidence, historical analysis, and philosophical reasoning-don't undermine this central claim of Christianity, but actually confirm it?
In The Divinity Hypothesis, this provocative question is subjected to a relentless, evidence-based investigation. This is not a work of theology. It is a meta-disciplinary inquiry that applies the same rigorous standard used in courts, labs, and history departments-Inference to the Best Explanation-to the life and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
You will discover:
The "Bedrock Facts" Five historical facts about the death and resurrection of Jesus that are granted by a vast consensus of modern scholars-including skeptical historians-and how they form an undeniable evidential foundation.
The Hypothesis Test: A brutal dismantling of every major naturalistic theory (the Swoon Theory, Theft Theory, Hallucination Theory, and Legend Theory), exposing why each one fails to explain the historical data and is deemed scientifically and historically impossible.
The Logical Bridge: How the historically-verified resurrection of Jesus serves as a divine act of authentication, forcing a re-evaluation of his radical claims to divinity and solving the classic "Liar, Lunatic, or Lord" trilemma.
The Grand Synthesis: How the philosophical necessity of a transcendent, personal Creator (argued from the Big Bang and modern cosmology) finds its stunning historical correlate in the resurrection, suggesting the God of philosophy and the God of the Bible are one and the same.
Praise for The Divinity Hypothesis:
"A breathtaking synthesis of logic, history, and science. This book doesn't ask you to check your brain at the door-it demands you use it to its fullest capacity. The result is a compelling and intellectually satisfying case that is as formidable as it is clear."
