Fabricating Jesus - How Modern Scholars Distort the Gospels

Summary

Modern historical study of the Gospels seems to give us a new portrait of Jesus every spring--just in time for Easter. The more unusual the portrait, the more it departs from the traditional view of Jesus, the more attention it gets in the popular media.
Why are scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus? Why is the public so eager to accept such claims without question? What methods and assumptions predispose scholars to distort the record? Is there a more sober approach to finding the real Jesus?
Commenting on such recent releases as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, James Tabor's The Jesus Dynasty, Michael Baigent's The Jesus Papers and the Gospel of Judas, for which he served as an advisory board member to the National Geographic Society, Craig Evans offers a sane approach to examining the sources for understanding the historical Jesus.

    WHERE IS GOD IS GOD WHEN LIFE GOES WRONG? – The Trials of Mary and Joseph – with David KiranIn this Christmas edition of Nightlight, David Kiran shares with us his insights into the real Christmas story. David says, "These are the kind of stories that will never make it into the Christmas pageant. These are the stories that are usually swept under the carpet, because they are difficult stories to process and wrestle with. But these stories are an important part of the origins of Jesus and they have serious questions to answer for us as to regards who Jesus is and our relationship with Him."You will find this class very timely for this Christmas, as many of God's children watch in dismay at what is happening in the world around us, and question. "Where is God in all of this?"

    Unencumbered Life in Flow 
In Unencumbered – Life as Flow: we embark on an experiential journey that challenges the very fabric of conventional thinking. At its core lies a profound inquiry into the nature of existence and the human experience. 
Drawing parallels to the revolutionary insights of pioneers, the book dares to question the foundations upon which we've built our understanding of reality. It suggests that perhaps the root cause of our suffering lies not in external circumstances, but in our deeply ingrained beliefs and attachments. 
Delving into the essence of existence, the narrative explores the notion that our relentless pursuit of external validation, self-improvement, and happiness is akin to chasing after illusions. Through insightful anecdotes and philosophical reflections, it invites readers to contemplate the possibility that true liberation lies in surrendering the relentless quest for improvement and embracing the inherent completeness within. 
As the layers of illusion begin to unravel, a profound shift occurs. The book illuminates the path to awakening, where the perceived "madness" of the world dissolves, revealing the unchanging essence of the true Self. It posits that in resting in the awareness of this innate wholeness, every moment is imbued with a sense of fulfillment and contentment beyond measure. 
With each turn of the page, "Unencumbered" offers a beacon of hope for those seeking liberation from the ceaseless cycle of striving. It challenges readers to reevaluate their understanding of self and reality, paving the way for a profound transformation in how they perceive and engage with the world.

    A spark of mischief. A blaze of consequence. A lesson in redemption. 
Set in a quiet English village during the 19th century, The Bonfire by Francis E. Paget is a heartfelt Victorian moral tale that weaves tradition, community, and repentance into one deeply moving narrative. When a group of young boys mistreats the reclusive Jasper Crabbe and accidentally sets off a fire during the annual Guy Fawkes Night celebration, the resulting blaze destroys the winter hay supply of a poor widow, Dinah Marjoram. 
Under the guidance of the village vicar, Mr. Warlingham, and with the unlikely help of Mr. Crabbe himself, the boys embark on a redemptive journey—raising funds through a communal garden to right their wrongs. As they labor, learn, and give back, they come to understand the true meaning of responsibility, humility, and Christian charity. 
Narrated with warmth and grace by Richard Stibbard, this timeless tale offers a powerful message of restitution and the enduring value of doing what's right—even after a mistake.
