How should we respond to claims that we now have documents that reveal secrets about Jesus, secrets long suppressed by the church and other religious institutions? Do these new documents successfully debunk traditional views about Jesus and early Christianity? Ben Witherington III confronts these claims with the sure-footedness of a New Testament scholar, yet in the plain language that any interested reader can follow. He takes us back to the early centuries after Jesus' death and tells us what we can really know about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the canonical Gospels and their Gnostic rivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830832675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 5.58w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/31\/2004 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ben Witherington III","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44493148750005,"sku":"9780830832675","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2d0d3e6f-4341-46fa-b53a-6215dcee3508.jpg?v=1721747218","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-gospel-code-novel-claims-about-jesus-mary-magdalene-and-da-vinci-9780830832675","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
