Did Jesus Commit Suicide?: and 27 Other Questions Teens Are Asking About the Bible (that adults want to know, too)

Designed to reach GenZ-ers, Millennials, and their parents, the answers in this book will help to train and equip them to stand boldly on God’s Word and to give a defense of the hope offered through Christ.

As apologists, teachers, ministry leaders, and popular speakers with Reasons for Hope, Carl Kerby and Juan Valdes have been answering questions about God, the Bible, evolution, creation, etc. for decades. What they have found is that young people want answers—straightforward, authentic, evidential answers—and they are ready to listen.

Statistics from studies about why Millennials and GenZ-ers are walking away from their faith or don’t trust the Word of God almost always involve questions they had that were either never answered or were answered inadequately. This being the case, the Reasons for Hope speakers asked teens to write down what issues were posing the biggest questions or doubts about their faith. “Did Jesus Commit Suicide?” is just one of those questions.

As you read through and study the various topics and answers in this book, you will gain new insights provided by the blended voices of the thinkers, theologians, and practitioners of the Reasons for Hope team and a few friends of the ministry.
