Can science prove that Jesus Christ is truly God? José Carlos González-Hurtado, president of EWTN España and author of the bestselling New Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God, believes that belief need not be blind. In this new book, he approaches Christianity's most fundamental question the way a historian or a scientist would: by examining the evidence.
Drawing on more than forty historical sources, archaeological discoveries, Big Bang physics, and the psychology of human behavior, he shows how separate lines of inquiry all converge on a single, inescapable conclusion -- that Jesus is God. It is an argumentative architecture that logically challenges both the comfortable believer and the convinced skeptic.
In these pages, you will discover:
- The five possible explanations for who Jesus was and the proof of His divinity
- Historical evidence for eleven aspects of Christ's life
- Old Testament prophecies fulfilled with unsettling precision
- How the Gospels compare with other ancient historical works
- The psychology of Jesus Christ versus the psychology of atheism
- Analogies from mathematics and physics that illuminate the Holy Trinity
- What scientists say about miracles in Scripture, the Shroud, and the Eucharist
Was Jesus a myth? A manipulator? A liar? González-Hurtado dismantles each claim with verifiable evidence. You'll hear from Roman historians such as Josephus and Tacitus and even hostile sources such as Babylonian Talmud writers, who had every reason to discredit Christianity yet ended up confirming central facts about Jesus.
González-Hurtado dismisses the need for blind faith. Rather, he applies the same historical rigor to Christian claims about Christ that are used to evaluate any other ancient figure or document, offering extensive evidence from first- and second-century sources. He ultimately reveals proof that is so overwhelming that escaping through the cracks of disbelief becomes almost impossible.
