Myth Busted! 145 Myths About Christianity Debunked
Jeffrey Burton RussellPaperback 2013-02-01
Publisher Description
Myth Busted! is a unique and engaging work of apologetics that seeks to convince readers about the claims of Christianity whilst debunking the layers of myths and assumptions that might have grown around its kernel. An encyclopaedic attempt at getting to answers to the questions that often get in the way. 'This is Christian apologetics at its best - compelling,readable, convincing and informed. Distortions, myths and lazy assumptions are all challenged. Encyclopaedic in scope, all the major questions are considered. Jeffrey Burton Russell demonstrates exceptional competence and mastery of the literature. What C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity did in the 1940s, Jeffrey Burton Russell has done for us. For those seeking and for those who doubt, this is a must-read book.' Ian Markham, president and professor of theology, Virginia Theological Seminary, USA 'Professor Russell's lively book will convince you that the ancient art of persuasive, reasoned defence is alive and well. Tackling the many misapprehensions and false assumptions about Christianity that routinely circulate in the modern world, Russell counters with thoughtful and thought-provoking data. Researched with a scholar's attention to accuracy, yet written in an accessible style and in a format that facilitates consideration of discrete topics, this book deserves a wide readership among thinking people, Christians and non-Christians, believers and non-believers alike.' Wendy M. Wright, Professor of Theology, Creighton University, USA
