For Christ's Sake

This radical book reveals the real, historical Jesus and reminds us what he actually said. Who was Jesus Christ? Was he God in human form? Was he the divine Son of God, conceived by a virgin, who came down to earth to found the one true religion? This is what the Church has been preaching since the Middle Ages, but the Church's portrait is a far cry from the Jesus Christ described in the New Testament. For Christ's Sakeis Tom Harpur's classic study of what the Bible actually tells us about Jesus. Controversial and radical, in that it goes to the roots of what isknown, Harpur's book strips away the mythology about Jesus to reveal a man whose message is still fresh and relevant today.

A former Rhodes scholar and professor of New Testament studies at Wycliffe College, Toronto, <b>Tom Harpur</b> is also an Anglican priest. He resigned from parish work in 1979 to write full-time in the mass media, in the process extending his “parish” to the whole of Canada. His work in newspapers, television, and his books, notably <i>For Christ’s Sake</i> and <i>Life After Death</i>, have consolidated his reputation as one of Canada’s pre-eminent religious voices and as a sound spiritual guide for modern times.
