Synopsis

This book investigates the origins of Christianity by examining the historical evidence surrounding the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The author argues that the Christian religion could not have been invented or imposed on people, as its teachings directly contradicted the popular beliefs and expectations of the Jewish people at the time. The ideas of Jesus, such as the notion of a Messiah who would bring salvation to all people, and the emphasis on love and forgiveness, challenged the established religious and social norms of the day. Despite the opposition and skepticism he faced, Jesus' message resonated with many, and the Christian movement grew rapidly, eventually spreading beyond its Jewish roots to become one of the world's major religions. This book provides a compelling argument for the divine origin of Christianity, offering a fresh perspective on the historical context that shaped its emergence and growth.
