CODE OF LIVING
In this incisive study, the author turns a skeptical eye toward the traditional portrait of Jesus as an unblemished savior. Drawing on historical research, linguistic analysis, and contemporary scholarship, he asks whether the gospel narratives can be taken at face value. The opening sections lay out why questioning such revered figures is often labeled blasphemous, and why that resistance matters for honest inquiry.
The book then moves through a series of focused chapters—examining the origins of the scriptures, the plausibility of miracles, the doctrine of the virgin birth, and the logic of atonement and eternal punishment. Each topic is paired with documentary evidence, comparative myths, and a clear‑eyed assessment of internal contradictions. By the end of the first act, listeners are equipped with the tools to evaluate the moral teachings of Jesus without accepting any claim as beyond critique.
